I was thinking about password handling for such programs as ii, jj, ji and how to not store it anywhere, except maybe in program itself in case of needed reconnect. So I was playing a little with ji and it reads pw from stdin like "ji -j jid@sev < pw_file". Also recently I was reading about terminal options, and stty command, after thinkgin about for a while I have come up to something like:
stty -echo; cat | ji -j jid@server ; stty echo; fg Though it is not fully refined, and since I failed to connect to gtalk, thus did not have any usage of ji yet, the idea seems promising. Disable echo so that noone could peek over shoulder, enter pw, press ctrl-d couple of times and pass it to the client, then enable echo again in case it is needed. So mabe such solution could work with ii too. Or maybe im missing something and pw still could be seen somehow even when using this way?
