[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#385035: Login should not allow text to be entered between user and password

[Matthew Flaschen]

Package: login
Version: 4.0.3-31sarge8

The problem is that after you type the username, but before the program 
begins taking password input, it is possible to type directly into the 
shell.  This means that if someone begins typing their password 
prematurely will have it displayed on screen, and logged.

Kernel: 2.4.27-2-386
libc: 2.3.6
