Oooh. Why do you want to do that? It makes it that much easier for someone looking over your shoulder to crack your passwd. If he can count the keyclicks he hears and compare it to the number of stars he sees he can even tell how many of the characters are shifted. A quick look at the man page shows a lot of configurable stuff, but not that. I'll assume you took a closer look. If you insist on doing this you'll have to dig into the code. Looks like the authentication widget is called xlogin. libXdmGreet may also be involved. Good luck. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
