I'm using the free program encfs for data encryption. I usually use it through the terminal, but I recently started using the eshell for more and more stuff. However, when I use the encfs command and it asks me for a password and I type in the password, in the eshell (and also M-x-shell) the password is visible in plaintext. I don't have that in a "normal" terminal. And after the password has been confirmed, it stays visible in the buffer. Not sure if this is a bug or just a not-yet-implemented feature, that's why I thought I would ask here first before reporting a bug or anything similar. Maybe it's even a bug in encfs, then I am wrong here... So: Is there anything I can do so that the password isn't visible while typing it in? And is there anything I can do to "refresh" the buffer so that I stay in the same folder in the eshell, but with my history (and the cleartext passwords) being deleted? What I do is "C-x k M-x eshell", but there has to be a better way. "C-l C-l" just scrolls down. Be nice please, I am new to this mailing list. Michael
