Hi Andrew,

I think we should remove getpass() completely or replace it with a samba 
version which works on all systems and works correctly. If you look at the 
manpage of getpass it is marked as obsolete.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>

       char *getpass( const char *prompt);

DESCRIPTION
       This function is obsolete.  Do not use it.
 

Regards,
