HP-UX 11 has a getpass() function that returns "a null-terminated string of
at most 8 characters", according to the man page. It doesn't have a
getpassphrase() function.
I need to use CVS on HP to reach a CVSNT server in a domain where shortening
passwords isn't really an option. I added the attached file to the lib
directory of CVS 1.11.6 and modified Makefile's am_libcvs_a_OBJECTS, and it
seems to work...
<<getpass.c>>
