Right, so you have to send Ctrl-D too... Quite unexpected behaviour
maybe.

Maybe Naddy wrote his script with his use case in mind. Could be he
doesn't have "\r" in his password (also, printf doesn't help in that
case, but the heredoc does)
Why do you think the dependency is 'brittle'? echo has been a
built-in of /bin/sh since it was imported into OpenBSD.

Mostly to annoy you ;) Why resort to namecalling anyway? That's not
very nice... (and an insult to retarded folks around the globe)
Anyway, you win. Congrats! No need to respond to my questions (but
no problem if you do; just know that I won't reply any further on this
(sub-)thread).
