Title: Hide password
Post by: errico2 on January 14, 2005, 10:03:19 AM

Hello all:
I'm trying to help in the development of amule, with something I need.
Because I run amuled, I need amuleweb running in order to access it from my windows pc. But if I do a 'ps ax' in my linux box i see:
14972 pts/0    S      0:00 amuleweb -q -pw mypassword

I want hide the password in order anybody can see it. I know how do it, but i can't found the place where amuled manage the arguments received from the command line.
Anybody can help me?

Regards, errico2.

errico2,

Use the -f parameter, and amuleweb will read the password from the file ~/.eMule, no need to specify it in the command line. Btw, the password is already there, no need to edit the file.

Cheers!

errico2,

What do you mean? In source code? amuleweb and amulecmd command line arguments are processed in ExternalConnector.cpp. Look for that line:
const wxCmdLineEntryDesc CaMuleExternalConnector::cmdLineDesc[8] =

There are also some options processed in TextClient.cpp and WebInterface.cpp. Look for "parser.Found".

For aMule, look in amule.cpp:
        // Parse cmdline arguments.
        wxCmdLineParser cmdline(AMULE_APP_BASE::argc, AMULE_APP_BASE::argv);

Hope that helps,
Cheers!
