In the above example, the new password isn't actually echoed when typed,
but we show what was typed for clarity. However the password
<emphasis>will</> appear in the echoed command, as illustrated &mdash;
so you don't want to use <literal>-e</> when assigning a password, if
but we show what was typed for clarity. As you see, the password is
encrypted before it is sent to the client. If the option <option>--unencrypted</option>
is used, the password <emphasis>will</> appear in the echoed command
(and possibly also in the server log and elsewhere),
so you don't want to use <option>-e</> in that case, if
anyone else can see your screen.
