[Bug 398444] Re: Why passwords letters are not showed as * ?

2009-07-15 Thread naoli
HU ? :O

Sorry, but I disagree. For instance, on our french online doc/help/forum
(http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org), there are plenty of pages written for
beginners that kindly ask to run a command in a terminal. Half of them
are sudo commands. (e.g. if you're stuck with the wifi, which is quite
often : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/wifi) ;)

Am I wrong ?

I agree with the last comment.

Most often, than we would like to accept , an average Ubuntu user has to use 
the sudo command in the terminal. 
Not providing the feedback only confuses the user more.

An advanced user might be aware of this, but the average user will
definitely be confused.

Password masking behavior in the terminal is not appropriate paper cut
material because it obtains only in advanced user scenarios.
