Subject: How to have password shown?
Hi all...
Is there any a way to have my user-password shown when logging into Debian in
tty console, or also within X system when changing to root? It is for my old
father... it'd be easier for him to see what he's typing. In internet I found
some procedures to have asterisks shown; would it be possible to have a clear
text as well? Maybe it isn't as I understand...
Thanks for any help,
Cheers,
Rodolfo
