Re: wput: bug-report

[Hagen Fritsch <hagen@itooktheredpill.dyndns.org>]

Hi,
i have been asked once for a password file so that the user does not have to 
type the password on the console. And this is what i was just implementing, 
when i received your report :)
And now, after finishing this task, i learn that there exists a specification 
for such files called .netrc... Well maybe i change my implementation 
(matching $host\t$user\t$pass\n) to be .netrc compatible...
Thanks for your report anyway ;)

Regards
Hagen
