Concealing keyboard input? Or how to display *****'s instead of text
Hi,
I'm writing a bash script to run under Cygwin to change users passwords on a Windows domain controler. My script uses the Windows "net user" command and I feed it the password as a variable.
In my script I'm using "read" to capture keyboard input into a variable but ofcourse the password is displayed on the screen. Is there a way I can conceal the password input with *****'s?
