Description Gowrishankar Rajaiyan 2011-01-31 18:45:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

As per the new design wrt https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=667326#c6 "the default behavior was changed, which required no arguments to be passed." However, the man page of "sss_obfuscate" states:

<snip>
The cleartext password can be specified as an argument to the program, read from        standard input or entered interactively.
</snip>

and also the help message has "-p and --password" options displayed which are not described in "man sss_obfuscate".

sss_obfuscate --help
<snip>
  -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
                        Password to obfuscate.
</snip>


The above statements are a bit confusing and should be documented correctly. Logging as a bug for tracking purpose.

We're dropping the -p option entirely.
