Note that this is not portable. If you wanted to use a similar approach on other systems, you might need to use f->_IO_read_base rather than f->_base. Also, you could instead modify the code so that read(2) is used for password input, avoiding stdio completely.
Correct portable solution is setvbuf(). This is ANSI and allows you to select where you want to place the stdio buffer. Just clear it after you're finished with it. Scott
