This feature is designed to # confuse people looking over your shoulder when you enter a password :-). # Also, the new getpass() accepts both Backspace (8) and Delete (127) # keys to delete previous character (to cope with different terminal # types), Control-U to delete all characters, and beeps when there are # no more characters to delete, or too many characters entered. # # Setting GETPASS_ASTERISKS to 1 results in more traditional behaviour - # exactly one '*' displayed for each character typed. # # Setting GETPASS_ASTERISKS to 0 disables the '*' characters (Backspace, # Delete, Control-U and beep continue to work as described above). # # Setting GETPASS_ASTERISKS to -1 reverts to the traditional getpass() # without any new features. This is the default. # GETPASS_ASTERISKS 0 # # Enable setting of the umask group bits to be the same as owner bits # (examples: 022 -> 002, 077 -> 007) for non-root users, if the uid is # the same as gid, and username is the same as the primary group name. # # This also enables userdel to remove user groups if no members exist. # USERGROUPS_ENAB yes
