daemon: Add new --unlock option to prompt for login password (3.32 KB, patch)
2013-10-15 14:23 UTC, Stef Walter 		committed Details | Review

Description Stef Walter 2013-10-15 13:34:26 UTC 
Currently we read a password on stdin when starting the daemon from PAM. Some other non-PAM callers want to do this as well.

Reusing the --login option for this doesn't work as it has other semantics such as delayed initialization.

Add a new --unlock option to prompt for password.

I've tested this in gnome-initial-setup now - it works

This option ... This option 
sounds a bit awkward. I'd just say 'It' the second time around

Thanks for the testing. Made that documentation change.
