Corzine thoughtfully posted a solution to this, but it does not quite fit my problem. When I am typing in a password, I am in an Emacs shell and are doing a "rlogin" to another host which is asking for my password. Maybe somehow turning off echoing in this shell would work. The other problem I am having is also in the shell, after I have completed the remote login. Emacs echoes everything to the screen in addition to the remote host echoing it and every line is followed my ^M. Is there a mode or process-filter which I can apply to get rid of this behaviour?
