sc_clipasswdecho


Use this variable to turn password echo on and off. When password echo is on, each character that a user types when logging in to ALOM is echoed to the screen with an asterisk (*). Note that the actual password is never echoed to the screen.

The default value for this variable is y (echo asterisks to screen).

For example, to change the value of this variable to n (no echo) type the following command at the ALOM command prompt:

sc> setsc sc_clipasswdecho n

You can specify a value for this variable using the setupsc command. The setupsc script prompts you to enter a value as follows:

Should password entry echo '*'s [y] ?
