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
