Hmm.... I was testing out my mods to support passwd changes outside of the
chroot, and I noticed that even without my mods, the passwords are echo'd to
the terminal The following is from scponly-4.0 with only a single patch to
make --enable-passwd-compat mode work:
$ ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password test at localhost passwd
test at localhost's password: (I type in my password w/no echo'ing)
(current) UNIX password: somepass
New UNIX password: testpass
BAD PASSWORD: is too similar to the old one
New UNIX password: testpass2
Retype new UNIX password: testpass2
passwd: password updated successfully
Changing password for test
The above happens on Linux. Does anybody else see the same behavior? Anybody
know how to fix it offhand?
Thanks.
