Hi.
I'm using the free program encfs for data encryption. I usually use it
through the terminal, but I recently started using the eshell for more
and more stuff. However, when I use the encfs command and it asks me for
a password and I type in the password, in the eshell (and also
M-x-shell) the password is visible in plaintext. I don't have that in a
"normal" terminal. And after the password has been confirmed, it stays
visible in the buffer. Not sure if this is a bug or just a
not-yet-implemented feature, that's why I thought I would ask here first
before reporting a bug or anything similar. Maybe it's even a bug in
encfs, then I am wrong here...
So: Is there anything I can do so that the password isn't visible while
typing it in? And is there anything I can do to "refresh" the buffer so
that I stay in the same folder in the eshell, but with my history (and
the cleartext passwords) being deleted? What I do is "C-x k M-x eshell",
but there has to be a better way. "C-l C-l" just scrolls down.
Be nice please, I am new to this mailing list.
Michael
