Show '*' when typing password

Probably been asked many time before but how do I make it that when I'm typing a passwrod at the console it shows and asterisk for each letter I type.

I'm having a few problems with my wireless keyboard and I have no idea how many key presses the PC has picked up.

Re: Show '*' when typing password

Take a look at /etc/login.defs
I don't know if it afects terminals under X too, but i suspect that it does.
