Hi

Please include a way to enter the password interactively. As it is not
possible to have something else than password authentication it would be
nice to not have to include the password included in the source or in a
file by default. I know that it is possible to circumvent this by
writing the password request myself using libterm-readkey-perl to have
the 'noecho' option, though this kind of stuff should be included in
this module IMHO.

Cheers

Luk
