I agree. > I would be happy if ucarp had a -f option which allowed you to specify a > configuration file that contained the options that you wanted to use for > that instance, including the password.

Upstream is pretty adamant about keeping ucarp simple. I'll raise the issue again, maybe there will be a change of heart. > I would be happy if there were other options as well, this just seems > the most logical one that most other daemons who have faced this similar > problem have taken. A configuration file would be useful in addition to keeping the password off the command line, that's the option I'd most like to see. Thanks for the report, -- Eric Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED]
