On Unix we read the password from /dev/tty not stdin, but on Windows that trick (probably) does not work, and we have to fall back to reading from stdin ... which you've stuffed with the input file. Better to use -f to source the input file. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
