Dear busy box mailing list,
I'm an end user of busybox, I hope this is the right place to post.
First of all, I think everyone loves how efficient busybox is, so I
imagine what I'll talk about next will be rejected. However, I thought I
would at least try:
I use busybox and ash on many systems, since I use Alpine a lot. I love
how snappy both are. However, I often use touch screen devices, too.
It's a challenge on any touch screen to be certain about what you're typing.
sudo has this feature called "pwfeedback". I realize sudo is notorious
having questionable many features. However, showing asterisks is a
god-sent as an accessibility tool for anybody who may have trouble
typing, whether caused by a touch screen or not.
For various technical reasons, I rely on su instead of sudo or doas.
Since "su" seems to be a busybox plugin, is there a way to do something
like "pwfeedback" with it? Might it be possibly considered as a new
feature? An option would do the job just fine, e.g.: su --pwfeedback
Regards,
Ellie
