19 | requests a password from the user, reads it again for verification |
| 20 | and then will normally not relinquish the terminal until the password is | |
| 21 | repeated. | |
| 22 | There are two other conditions under which it will terminate: it | |
| 23 | will timeout after some interval of time and it may be killed by someone | |
| 24 | with the appropriate permission. | |
