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. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
