start linuxconf as linuxconf --text from terminal change the password for any user, then exit from linuxconf (always type quit, do not use activate) After exit the the terminal beckground color will be used as a foreground and foreground will be used as a background. After a program with VT100 emulation (such as lynx) is run the colors are back to normal.
Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore
