Re: [Haskell-cafe] Disable echo in POSIX terminal

Hi

I've written a little Haskell program to get information from a MySQL database (great thanks to anybody reading this who works on HSQL, by the way) but I want to keep the user's password concealed, obviously. Currently I prompt for it from the terminal, but the problem is that it's echoed just like all other input. I would like to disable input echo when asking for the password, but I'm not sure how. I notice there's a System.POSIX.Terminal module, but I have no idea how to use it, or whether it will do what I want. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

http://haskell.org/hoogle/?q=echo A quick Hoogle search for echo suggests hSetEcho, so perhaps hSetEcho stdin False would work. Thanks Neil
