You're right... I meant ${TMPIN%% *}

"echo" does not very closely mimic the auth daemon, as you noticed
earlier. First, it'll add a newline even when you don't want one (since
you're not using -n). Second, it'll close its stdout when it is done,
which authdaemon doesn't. That will cause significantly different
behavior in authProg. "read" will not return if there is no newline,
and the input stream remains open.

What would you rather see in an example?
