William A. Rowe Jr. <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID --- Comment #6 from William A. Rowe Jr. <[email protected]> 2012-02-03 23:23:38 UTC --- There is no mechanism to protect the contents of the command line from the view of all local users, which is why passwords on the command line are a fundamentally broken concept. Obviously users are welcome to apply such a patch, but shipping such a patch would be irresponsible. I'm going to reclose this as invalid because no developers disagreed when they saw this message pass by their screens. If you like, propose a "[vote] Allow command line arg passwords" to the [email protected] and we can see what the full consensus of the entire project is. I'm sure some users would also like to pass ssl key passphrases or user account passwords on the command line, and that should not happen either. This is one of those occasions where user desires fly in stark contrast to users well being. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
