The PEM passphrase callback makes use of getpass(). getpass() will read from and write directly to /dev/tty. If the process has no controlling TTY (eg, after calling setsid()), getpass() will write to stderr and read the password from stdin. Can you tell me more about your environment? Are you trying to pipe a password to bconsole? The code works fine here (I tested on Mac OS X and FreeBSD.): backup1# bconsole -c bconsole.conf Connecting to Director backup1.example.com:9101 Passphrase for Director "backup1-dir" TLS private key: 1000 OK: backup1-dir Version: 1.38.2 (20 November 2005) Enter a period to cancel a command. * -landonf
