Sam,

True.  But you should only be doing that from localhost, it is not logged
anywhere, you should not allow non-authorized users access to a sniffer, and
you can clear your screen after you enter the command.

Eventually there will be a different interface.

I believe he was referring to the telnet admin interface.  When you issue
the adduser command, you must specify the password in plain text, e.g.

  adduser mary hadalittlelamb

Currently, there is no way to hide the password portion of the command.
