Many other programs (cryptsetup itself, login, ssh, etc.) do not show any output for that matter. Revealing the number of characters in the key for potential overlookers is not quite thrilling - which is why Unices would traditionally show nothing at all. I think this behavior should be restored. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
