[paramiko] Problem using channels

[Heine Andersen]

Thx for the suggestions, using readline doesn't solve the problem. The
reason for not parsing
the password as en argument, is that it would be revealed if another
user do a ps -ef.
But a hack could be to transfer it using sftp, then again if something
goes wrong,
I have all these small textfiles containing passwords floating around
in the users homedirs :(
