Comment 3 for bug 288408

Hi Dan,

thanks for your input

indeed ! it unfortunately still is a problem

in the meantime I had switched back to gentoo (for this and more software/version reasons) but now I hopefully will be able to stay with ubuntu

I'm not using 8.10 (Intrepid) anymore but Jaunty (9.04 alpha4 alternate install CD) (it's a new installation which I just finished installing)

here some info concerning the configuration files:

/etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/home /home reiserfs noatime,nodiratime,commit=600 1 2

/etc/crypttab:
home /dev/sda8 none luks

the problem is still:
when booting up it's prompting for the password and when having entered it successfully it checks the filesystem, after that it switches from usplash / splash to text-output and displays the last lines of output - including the just entered password

it isn't supposed to do that and besides that cryptsetup also should NOT show the password when / after being entered
I have nowhere else (in no other distribution) seen this kind of strange behavior

I can't confirm for 8.10 but for 9.04 (from today's state)

please fix this as soon as possible since this - in some kind - is a very critical security problem (for me):

you can have the securest password in the world but if everyone can read it and has enough time to write it down - it's worthless

Many thanks in advance

keep up your great work improving ubuntu :)
