hello,

here what happened :

I opened Konsole in KDE 3.3.2 then I typed "su" (then enter) to be loggued as root

then i typed my root password as usual, it worked but i saw my password on screen !!

[noordman localhost ~]$ su
Password:  my_passw_
[root localhost noordman]#

It happened just once. Weird and dangerous isn't it ? I typed maybe too fat ;-)

Thanks.

Nicolas,
