Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Everything entered on the console is echoed, including passwords. Same is during login or in Bash. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils-8.12-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.0-0.rc3.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 bash-4.2.10-3.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot, try to log in Actual results: Password echoed Expected results: Password not echoed Additional info: If I run "stty sane", this occurs: stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations According to strace, it does TCSETS and then TCGETS. Looks like some bits may be stuck and not settable. SElinux is in permissive mode.
On second thought, I think it must be Plymouth. After logging out, things have gone back to normal.
Actually it's not necesserily the loss of tty functions, but simply completely random whacky behaviour on terminals. Just now after reboot the console was simply dead, not accepting any input. Killing the process "/bin/plymouth --wait" resolved the issue.
About bug 710737: - That one is in F15, this one in F16, maybe needed for tracking anyway - The hang may be the same, but random behaviour is not
Seems working these days (F17).
