lognopassword

Data Type

Boolean

Description

The lognopassword variable determines whether non-echoed input, such as passwords, is written to the I/O log file when I/O logging is active.

Starting with version 7.0.0, all input and output is logged until a password prompt is recognized on stdout. Password prompts to recognize must be listed in the policy language list variable passwordloggingprompts which defaults to {"Password:", "password:", "Passwd:", "passwd:"} for v7.0.0 to v7.5.0, and to {"Password", "password", "Passwd", "passwd"} for v7.5.1 and later.

After a password prompt is recognized, non-echoed stdin is not logged until a newline is received, or until input exceeds 80 characters.

Syntax

lognopasswd = boolean;

Valid Values

The initial lognopassword value comes from the settings file. If passwordlogging is set to never, lognopassword is set to true and becomes read-only.

lognopassword = true;
