I'd like to see an option to pass the password on the cli, either as an input prompt or as just an argument to an option, or both. I think storing it in the config file is a security risk, storing passwords in plaintext is just bad practice. if it's already possible could someone share how with me? and perhaps patch the documentation to include how. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
