I want *default* password agent to be consistent with traditional *Nix
password handling. And that is echoing NOTHING at all.
I am amazed that at times I had to defend not wanting stars(*) getting
echoed on terminal on *Linux* box. That should have been other way
around. That is the onus to defend should be on the one who wants
stars(*) being echoed on Terminal.
Anyways, thank you for helping me out! I learned a thing or two thanks to you!
And I just filed a bug report [0]. if anybody interested they can
follow the discussion there.
