And the reason we do it this more cumberswome way, instead of simply letting you give a password on the command line, is that command line options are visible to other users (just use ps with the right arguments). Passing the password via a file descriptor is safer. If you for some reason need to provide a fixed password "gazonk" to lsh, for some scripting or whatever, write an askpass script (which should *not* be readable for other users) like #! /bin/sh echo gazonk and use lsh --askpass path-to-that-script.
