The password entered via the prompt contains the trainling newline ('\n') and therefore likely none of the passwords used for keys are 'working', meaning using a password-protected key is likely to fail when using the prompt. Therefore, remove the trailing newline from the password. Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.ibm.com> --- src/evmctl.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+)
