Hi there,

I just installed a krb5 server on a scientific linux box.

I then have tested the basics:

# kadmin -p user
Authenticating as principal user with password.
Password for user@REALM:
kadmin:  quit

this is ok!

# kinit user
Password for user@REALM:password_in_clear_text_here!
New ticket is stored in cache file /tmp/krb5cc_0

ooops!

is this normal?

anyway, how to force kinit to hide/scramble the typed in password?

thanks,

--
Phil
