Patches 1 and 2 address fairly obvious bugs in how we handle reading
passwords from stdin.
There are other ways we may consider fixing these bugs:
- Should password=- always open /dev/tty and ignore stdin entirely?
- Should we make password=-0/-1/-2 work by skipping the close? Or
perhaps reopen the file descriptors on /dev/null after reading the
password? (This seems over-complicated to me, I think -0/-1/-2 is
always likely to be a user error).
