Encrypting password
Hello All,

I need to accept a password from the user and validate it, without having to hard-code it anywhere. Any ideas?

thanks, but i am already using that to accept the password. What i want is to validate the password after it is entered, to check if its correct or not.

Use an if-else condition.

Code:
if [ $pswd == "blahblah" ]
then
    <go_ahead>
else
    echo "password not correct. exiting"
    exit
fi
