Interactive Rsync Authentication Problem
...t_user/topdir/subdir
However, if I do not specify the password on the command line and am
prompted interactively, it always fails. After some investigation I find
that Solaris getpass() returns a maximum of PASS_MAX bytes which on our
systems is set to 8. The comment in authenticate.c is:
cyeoh says that getpass is deprecated, because
it may return a truncated password on some systems,
and it is not in the LSB.
Does this issue deserve a code fix/workaround?
