Hello.
I've run into what appears to me to be a problem with
read_pw_string() (called by ka_ReadPassword()). Instead of attempting
to read from /dev/tty (via good_gets()), it automatically reads from
stdin. This causes problems with programs which allow data on stdin as
one must either supply a password on the command line (yuch) or make
the first record in stdin the password (again yuch). I understand that
using getpass() & ka_StringToKey() is generally unsuitable given that
it only works for passwords of 8 characters or less, but at least it
doesn't confuse stdin with the terminal.
What suggestions for alternatives do people have (short of fixing
the source locally)?
