[PLUG] POSIX shell way to read a passphrase
|
In bash, you can prompt for and read from the keyboard without echoing
(e.g., to capture a password, you can use read -sp "Password: "
mypwd). What is the recommended way, if any, to do this in a POSIX
shell script that must execute on a wide range of UNIX/Linux
platforms? Thanks in advance.
