(Get the code!)
Since there is such a fine line between server and desktop use, to avoid confusion there should be a consistent behavior--either the password has visual feedback or it doesn't.
So if this is really a security issue (showing feedback), then there should be no feedback ever. No dots or asterisks for the GUI environment. No asterisks for the CLI.
But if it isn't a security issue, then it's really just a matter of "what old *nix users are used to" as opposed to what makes the most sense, in which case dots or asterisks should be used in both the GUI and the CLI.
