# Name: getpassck
#
# Description:
#    This script demonstrates when programs using getpass sometimes
#    fail.  The reason is that some implementations of getpass prompt
#    before the pty/tty has completed the switch to no-echo.  This may
#    not be obvious from examination of the implementation of getpass
#    itself because the driver itself may cut corners and be
#    responsible for allowing the call to return prematurely.
#
# Directions:
#   Simply run this script.  It will loop 100 times attempting to
#   generate the getpass problem.  If the bug cannot be reproduced,
#   you will see 100 failed attempts to su.  If the bug can be
#   reproduced, the script exits as soon as it is detected.
