You could always wrap your passwd command with a shell script that just
tells them that the password prompt won't echo anything and then
immediately runs the real password program.

Thanks Brian, i was hoping it wouldn't be that deep of a change, I
think my users will just have to get used to it since I'm not thinking
it a big enough problem to change the app. It is always good to be able
to have the choice to though :)

I was just reading though the source for passwd and it looks like
there isn't a way to do it without rewriting parts of passwd to not
use the getpass function, or rewriting getpass itself if you want
everything to output the stars.
The getpass() function opens /dev/tty (the controlling
terminal of the process), outputs the string prompt, turns off
echoing, reads one line (the "password"), restores the terminal
state and closes /dev/tty again.

Thanks Larry!!
I have found several articles on how to do form within sudo, but
nothing
on how to get passwd or bash to do it so far.

I have how to display password feed back while
using sudo,
but Google has failed me on how to display feedback
while
running passwd in a terminal session. Does anyone
know if
the pwfeedback environment setting works outside of
sudoers
file or an equivalent setting for the passwd command?
