[Bug 1225327]

[wzis]

It seems to me that the proper solution to make ssh/sftp work as on
other UNIX platforms is compile it without using the "--with-libedit":
the functions provided by libedit are not necessary to run ssh/sftp and
not that useful in use ssh/sftp also: the openssh is used on all other
UNIX platforms without the libedit, and I don't think those UNIX vendors
have received any meaningful number of complaints for not having
libedit. With libedit, openssh lost control to the tty settings which
caused end user not able to control whether they want to hide the sftp
sub-commands.

Title:
  sftp in 12.04 has tty attributes setting problem

Status in Portable OpenSSH:
  Confirmed
Status in “libedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu Linaro Evaluation Build:
  New

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, when doing following:
  1. stty -echo
  2. sftp user at server
  3. key in pass as required.
  4. cd /tmp
  5. bye
  6. stty -a

  By right, the contents entered in step 4-6 shouldn't be visible, but they do on 12.04.
  Found the same issue on RHEL 6.x. But sftp on Solaris/AIX/HP-UX and RHEL 5.x do not have this issue.
