RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 103942

Details

modutil is supposed to be able to read passwords from the command line. This doesn't appear to work anymore. Modutil is calling newpw = SECU_GetPasswordString(newpwFile, ""); but SECU_GetPasswordString has been modified so that it ignores (!!!) its first argument. The password file parameters are necessary for modutil to be run in a script, such as a test script. I'm assigning to relyea because cvs blames him. But this bug has been present since revision 1.1 in the mozilla tree. I know it worked when I wrote it in Spring 1998, back on the netscape tree.
I made a fix in my tree and then I did a "cvs up -A", and found that my exact fix had already been checked into the trunk! Ian had already done exactly what I was about to do when he fixed #103942 last week. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 103942 ***
