Interactive Rsync Authentication Problem
...e command line:
RSYNC_PASSWORD=the_Password rsync -r /tmp/test test_user@test_server::test_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?

server on Solaris 9:
The Solaris9 getpass(3C) takes passwords up to PASS_MAX length,
which is only 8. That means if you try something like
# net ads join -U admin@MY.REALM
and the admin password is more than 8 characters in length,
you'll get "Preauthentication failed".
The solution to this is to use getpassphrase(3C), which according
to the manpage "r...
