[Bug 55159] Re: usplash prevents passwords from being not echoed on the console

[Michael Flaig]

This bug is a security problem. pretty severe in my eyes. If for whatever reason you get dropped to console after entering your harddisk password it is readable on the screen. This can be triggered quite easily and needs a fix.
Still happens with jaunty!

If it is not fixable usplash needs to be disabled if harddisk encryption
(dm-crypt) is used.
