I changed some netword security settings and kdm no longer echos the
password characters as "*" but just shows nothing. I cannot find a
setting, or an entry in any configuration file to do this.

one of the tabs holds an option whether to show one or 3 asterixes per
typed character or no asterixes at all.

I just read in a book that to one way to find out the value of an
enviroment variable is to give it as the argument to echo, preceded
by a $ and surrounded by double quotes, as in echo "$FOO". Why
the quotes? It seems that I get the same results whether I do echo
$FOO or echo "$FOO".
Thanks!
