Try the arguments in reverse. Let me know if that fixes it.
If it does, apply the patch and let me know if that fixes it, too.
If both are true, it's a subtle and stupid FreeBSD extension to POSIX
getopt.

I tried futzing with getopt()'s format and removing the double colons and
replacing it with single colons, as well as applying the patch: none of
the above worked. The differences between glibc and BSD's getopt()
wouldn't change the outcome of this.

Sorry, I'm shooting for this:
dbmail-users -W -c [EMAIL PROTECTED]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
seanc - 15-Nov-04 12:22 CET

I tried both of the following:
% dbmail-users -W -c [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% dbmail-users -Wc [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% dbmail-users -c [EMAIL PROTECTED] -W
And none of them work.

Hrmm...
Well, it Works for Me (TM). I'll see about playing with DBMail on a BSD
machine to try and duplicate the problem.

this will get more attention after the release of dbmail 2.0.1

On an OpenBSD machine, I can confirm that the BSD version of getopt() is
really, really picky. So dbmail-users -Wc bob fails, as does dbmail-users
-W -c bob. The only one that works is dbmail-users -c bob -W.
That aside, I am properly prompted for a password on OpenBSD.
Guess I'll have to dig up a FreeBSD machine to test this on, too.
Incidentally, I'm testing 2.0.1 right now. You're on HEAD. I'm 99% sure
that the two are identical in user.c, but I'll have to check...
