Just looked at this again. It seems to be a small, funky bug in monotone. If you pass only 2 arguments to 'cert', it reads stdin to get the actual contents of the cert. It's not waiting for your password; it's waiting for stdin to report end-of-file (e.g., by you pressing ^D). However, I guess using 'cin' to read the contents of stdin is a bit of a problem, since I think istreams will never become valid to read after they have reported EOF, but the actual semantics of a tty are that it _can_ become readable again after reporting EOF? I'm not quite sure what should be done here; even if we fix the problem so you can hit ^D and then enter your passphrase, a stdin-slurping interface that can only be used effectively when stdin is a tty is sort of pointless... I guess there are weird options -- what does ssh do to find the tty for passphrases? Pick the first fd out of 0, 1, 2 that isatty, and read&write from there? The workaround, of course, is to pass the contents of the cert in the third argument... -- Nathaniel -- Sentience can be such a burden. _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
