Книга: Fedora™ Unleashed, 2008 edition
Text-Based Console Login
Text-Based Console Login
If you sit down at your PC and log in to a Linux system that has not been booted to a graphical login, you see a prompt similar to this one:
Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)
Kernel 2.6.23-1.217 fc8 on an i686
login:
Your prompt might vary, depending on the version of Fedora you are using. In any event, at this prompt, type in your username and press Enter. When you are prompted for your password, type it in and press Enter.
NOTE
Note that your password is not echoed back to you, which is a good idea. Why is it a good idea? Well, people are prevented from looking over your shoulder and seeing how many characters are on your screen. It is not difficult to guess that a five-letter pass word might correspond to the user's spouse's first name!
