Description of problem: After restarting or something, it always prompt to enter the password. Other software of the same kind does not behave like this. I suggest compiling it with --with-password. So it will remember the password. I have tried modification the SPEC and it is working fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnubiff-2.2.13-2.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up 2. restart 3. prompt to enter password Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Would it be OK for you if you can rebuild the package with an 'with-password' option?

Upstream says that '--with-password-string' is recommended. I understand that for user this can be an annoyance but better be save than sorry. gnubiff-2.2.13-3.fc15 has a build condition that allows users to rebuild the package with '--with-password'
