---------------------------------------------
Hi Dan,
You have to consider that your average POS operator is probably not a Unix
guru, so printing asterisks won't be out of place.
You should also consider that user want feedback for their input, and i guess
when using POS with a touch screen such feedback would be even nicer.
I don't see how knowing the length of a PIN number would decrease security (see
credit cards). Managing the POS passwords in a secure way should be done by the
administrators enforcing a good password policy.
