openssh bugs - Jun 2010 - [Bug 1779] New: SSH does not honor request to surpress echo for passwords

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1779

           Summary: SSH does not honor request to surpress echo for
                    passwords
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.2p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: sshbugzilla10 at illuminatus.org


I've tried this on multiple versions of SSH, but the most recent is
5.2p1, tested on Linux and Solaris.

When passing a command on the command line that requires a secondary
password, ssh echos the password to the console.

For example:
ssh me at example.com "mysqldump -u root -p mysql" > file.sql

Will result in asking me for the ssh password correctly and then
echoing the mysql password to the console.  I believe it should not do
that.

--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org>  ---
This behaviour is expected.

When you specify a command on the ssh command-line you turn off TTY
allocation, which is necessary to suppress keyboard echo. You can force
the use of a TTY using the -t flag to ssh.
