Don't show keyboard input on terminal
I am developing a script that will run with '/bin/ksh' shell.
The script is intended to receive a password by keyboard input, but for security reasons I would like to hide what the user is typing.
The keyboard input is being caught by 'read' command.
exmaple :
echo "Please type your new password :"
read NEWPASS
Can anybody help me ??
regards,
Mariano R.
