Hi, the currently committed patch looks insufficient, because
echo $CONFIDENTIAL | process -
is fine (echo is a shell builtin)
but
su $user -c "echo $CONFIDENTIAL | process -"
is not, because $CONFIDENTIAL is passed as a command line parameter to su.
Attached is a completely untested patch versus current svn, that could
fix the problem and also simplifies things a lot. That patch itself
looks very ugly because its a patch for a patch :-)
It's the way I would have written it, but no warranties that it still
does what it should do
