If anyone wants a detailed technical explanation of why this works... imagine a huge steaming pile of manure.
those with more feeble imaginations (like myself) might do user@used:~$ stty -a |grep ' erase =' instead. also, if what you really want is a clean slate so you can retype your entire password from scratch, a single ctrl-shift-u ought to work provided user@used:~$ stty -a |grep ' kill =' yields ... kill = ^U; ... or so i imagine. and the shift key might be optional here.
