[gentoo-user] GETPASS_ASTERISKS

[Paul Stear]

Hi all,
I am logged into kde 3.5.3 as a user and when I run the superuser konsole I am 
asked for root's password, this I enter as normal but I get the following 
error message:-
configuration error - unknown item 'GETPASS_ASTERISKS' (notify administrator)

It still works for emerges etc.
Is this a problem that needs to be fixed or should I just live with it?

Paul

See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135987. Just comment out this 
variable in /etc/login.defs.
