That's because the tool does not take the password on stdin. $ /usr/lib64/libexec/kcheckpass Only binary protocol supported You need to pass a file descriptor number with the -S option. kcheckpass.c also makes debugging difficult, by setting a bunch of options to prevent unauthorised attaching to the process. You need to modify the source to turn those off. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Software Architect - Intel System Software Products
