Hi ,
I am currently writing a program for logging in using telnet. Just
wanted the password to be kept secret so want to implement it using
********** when the user types in the password.
Thanks,
Prasad.

After installing the highline gem you can:
require 'highline'
password = HighLine.new.ask('password:'{|q| q.echo
= '*' }
Hope that helps
