[systemd-devel] [PATCH] ask-password: Add --do-echo to enable echoing the user input

[David Sommerseth]

Hi,

I've been playing with the systemd feature enabled in OpenVPN.  And I
propose this change to systemd-ask-password to avoid masking usernames.
 I tried looking for alternative ways querying for usernames through
systemd without finding a good solution.

This patch has been tested locally on a slightly modified OpenVPN build
which calls systemd-ask-password with --do-echo when it queries the user
for usernames.

If there are better ways how to solve this, please let me know and I'll
go that path instead.

kind regards,

David Sommerseth
