I tried the command above and found everything I typed was still being
echoed to the screen. I did this both on a raw freeBSD 4.2 and in an X
windows window, both worked identically. However, when I typed in a login
password, it was not echoed. uname -a gave:
FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000
jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 .
Anyone know why it doesn't work, and what do the login password readers
use? I tried a few other of the -echo variations and didn't notice any of
them working. stty -a & stty -g did work.
