pasting password from X clipboard with read-passwd

I don't really want to talk about security policies. I've already decided on my security policy. The basic thrust is that I don't trust the network but do trust my X clipboard. I have an app that stores all of my username/passwords and allows me to easily copy the password to the clipboard. The problem is that in xemacs I'm unable to paste the password. I get a complaint about mouse-track needing to be bound. I tried to modify the read-passwd-map to add a binding for button2 with no success. Since all but two of my passwords are unrememberable (the next best thing to line-noise), I have to paste the password into a term and then manually type it in; very aggravating and much less secure than just pasting it in. Is there a good reason (other than historical security concerns with pasting a password from the clipboard) why I can't use the middle mouse button to paste a password into xemacs when prompted for a password? -- (__) Doug Alcorn - Unix/Linux/Web Developing oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ mailto:doug＠lathi.net http://www.lathi.net
