Thanks,
yes this was a known issue, and I was waiting for a more stable script
before switching to getpass, but as you have done it I will integrate
the patch and add the confirmation step as well (as long as you see the
password you don't need it, but now you do).

Thank you very much for the patch, it is very welcome.

Simo.
