When entering passwords, after initial login sequence, the contents of the "password:' field echo to the screen. This happens when accessing the server with SSH. If I use a DOS shell locally, the problem doesn't occur. Initially, I use VanDyke's SecureCRT to call the server and initialize the shell. When I do this to a UNIX server (using Sun Solaris 2.6/2.8), there is no problem. This occurs when accessing a server using a Windows O/S. All initialization parameters for SSH have been checked and customizable sections of SecureCRT have been verified as set properly (in communication with VanDyke). This is affecting Admin duties on these servers due to critical passwords showing on the screens. Thank you for your help. Robert
sorry, what exactly are you doing?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I just got back to working on NT problems. Problem: when I login to my NT4.0 server, using VanDyke's SecureCRT4.0 and SSH2, I get the usual screen. All seems well. Now I connect to the Oracle component using SQLPlus*: sqlplus system@DBname When the password prompt appears: Enter password: I type in the password and viola!!! the password appears on the screen! I try to use a password file (sort of like an .INI file) and the password again shows up on the screen. Needless to say, this compromises my security a tad ;-} What I need is: 1) a fix 2) an explanation or 3) a way of using SQLPlus* for Oracle with SSH2 I don't know how else to explain this problem. I appreciate your help Robert Oracle DBA
Which is the client (secure CRT or OpenSSH)? Which is the server? (I assume that OpenSSH is the server) Does the problem happen when you use openssh on the client end? Can you replicate this with any other programs? E.g. one of the cygwin passwd utils.
