We are logging the interaction between the user and the system using the ssh clients interface. The commands are captured before they are sent to the server. The server must know when to prompt for a password. Given this, are there special characteristics for the password prompt when it is issued by the server or is it completely a function of the client?

NAME
password-gorilla -- a password manager SYNOPSIS
password-gorilla DESCRIPTION
The Password Gorilla helps you manage your logins. It stores all your user names and passwords, along with login information and other notes, in a securely encrypted file. A single "master password" is used to protect the file. This way, you only need to remember the single master password, instead of the many logins that you use. If you want to log in to a service or Web site, the Password Gorilla copies your user name and password to the clipboard, so that you can easily paste it into your Web browser or other application. Because the password does not appear on the screen, Password Gorilla is safe to use in the presence of others. The convenience of Password Gorilla allows you to choose different, non-intuitive passwords for each service. An integrated random password generator can provide one-time passwords, tunable to various services' policies. FILES
The program creates a configuration file .gorillarc in the homedirectory of the user. REPORTING BUGS
