Hi Dan, thanks for your input
indeed ! it unfortunately still is a problem in the meantime I had switched back to gentoo (for this and more software/version reasons) but now I hopefully will be able to stay with ubuntu I'm not using 8.10 (Intrepid) anymore but Jaunty (9.04 alpha4 alternate install CD) (it's a new installation which I just finished installing) here some info concerning the configuration files: /etc/fstab: /dev/mapper/home /home reiserfs noatime,nodiratime,commit=600 1 2 /etc/crypttab: home /dev/sda8 none luks the problem is still: when booting up it's prompting for the password and when having entered it successfully it checks the filesystem, after that it switches from usplash / splash to text-output and displays the last lines of output - including the just entered password it isn't supposed to do that and besides that cryptsetup also should NOT show the password when / after being entered I have nowhere else (in no other distribution) seen this kind of strange behavior I can't confirm for 8.10 but for 9.04 (from today's state) please fix this as soon as possible since this - in some kind - is a very critical security problem (for me): you can have the securest password in the world but if everyone can read it and has enough time to write it down - it's worthless Many thanks in advance keep up your great work improving ubuntu :) -- the password entered during boot for an encrypted partition (e.g. /home) is shown in plain text after having entered it (behind usplash) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
