This explains why Ubuntu switched. Mawk seems
to be almost an order of magnitude faster. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It could be worse. First thing I always did on a new ubuntu system was
change the
default shell from dash to bash. Things fail mysteriously with
the former.
That fail stemming from a good-willing mess-up got to be so
typically ubuntu-esque
that a little later I wasn't so sure that the
flip-up was 'good-willing' anymore;
That's when, after an upgrade, the
login window now would automatically show your
username. All you had
to do anymore was type the password...
Well my typing hands just were
used to the speedy old way of typing username, tab,
password, without
much looking at the screen at all, so you can imagine the jolt I
got,
finding myself gawking at the better part of my own password up there, in
clear
plaintext...
Right then and there started my dismay with
MS.

P.S.
I always considered the pre-showing
of the
username in itself a security issue, aside from
the out-of-step
typing error that it induces as
described above.
