While I can see the usefulness for _new_ users, people who upgrade should not have defaults changed in unexpected ways.
uutils has an entire test suite to pass, so I figure at least it'll work itself out in time. This is a wholly different beast, password security. While it is expected for GUI password fields to present circles or stars for each character typed, it NEVER has been expected on a console. New installs could present a user whether or not they want CLI password security, and set this. The upgrade should not implicitly decide to change over 45 years of precedence. Instead of saying "upgraders, CHANGE YOUR SUDOERS", simply set the default to pwfeedback in the distributed sudoers file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2142721 Title: sudo-rs echos * for every character typed breaking historical security measures older than I am To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-sudo-rs/+bug/2142721/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
