------- Comment #1 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-04-16 13:18 MST ------- In bash, you can effectively provide the password in the command like this: rsync --password-file=<(echo somepassword) That translates into something like rsync --password-file=/dev/fd/63 , where /dev/fd/63 is a pipe into which bash has loaded the text somepassword. I think a --password option should not be added to rsync because of the easy alternative and because actually passing the password in a command-line argument often reveals it to other users on the system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
