    Well alot of dial up tools do this put your password in *
    so  you can let other people use your  
    computer and dial up and they wont know what your password
    is..
    
    But in kppp all you have to do to fix out whats UNDER the *
    is just CUT and PASTE.. Thats right..
    Just COPY the *'s and paste then to a term and you can see
    what there password is...
    
    I am not sure if this is a problem or what.. But there is no
    reason to have the *'s if they are  
    so easy to get past...
    
    btw somone might want to report this to the makers of
    kppp..    
    --flipz
