You could also have the person select a keymap when they enter a password, similar to how you select one when running anaconda. There are probably some other solutions as well. Another option would be to save the keys they hit instead of the characters. That poses some problems if a keyboard is swapped out for a different kind, but if you limited yourself to the more standard areas of the keyboard when entering the passphrase, that wouldn't be guaranteed to fail. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
