Patching security-critical infrastructure in distros should absolutely be no problem at all! </dark sarcasm> No, of course I'll discuss this upstream first. I tend to agree that showing stars isn't too bad, although much worse than Blattlaus argued: the stars remain on screen even after you typed it (scrollback), etc. But if it wouldn't be stars, but rather something like a random throbber, this would provide key press feedback without giving away information about the length. -- Please enhance the sudo explanation message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
