When I run sftp to connect to a server, I sometimes forget the -l flag to change the username. In these cases, I'm prompted for the password for a user that doesn't exist on the server. When I hit Ctrl-C to exit and return to the shell, I get my shell back, but the term does not display my input chars. Everything works fine, but I just can't see what I'm typing. I suspect that whatever changes are made to the term to hide passwords aren't being reset on exit. This problem exists on xterm and gnome-terminal, but not the real console. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. using xterm or gnome-terminal, run sftp to login to a server 2. hit ctrl-c to exit at the password prompt 3. try typing in the shell prompt Actual Results: I cannot see my input, but anything I type is still executed Expected Results: given me back my term with input chars showing Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x86-2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1, 2.6.8.1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8.1 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdr crypt cups curl divx4linux dvd emacs encode esd foomaticdb ftp gdbm gif gmail gnome gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imagemagick imap imlib java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mpeg mpeg4 ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png ppds python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcpd tetex tiff truetype usb x86 xml2 xmms xprint xv zlib"
re: the "forget the -l flag" I meant that I forget to use the user@host syntax instead of just host (oops)
In CVS, thanks!
