ChorusOS 4.0 Migration Guide

3.3 getpass()

The getpass() system call has been removed from the ChorusOS 4.0 operating system. As host and target communications are based on commands sent by rsh from the host to the target, the echoing is carried out by the host and cannot be controlled by the target. As a result, it is not possible to silence password echoing. To avoid password echoing, do not use rsh for host/target communications.
