Hi, I need to turn off the echo on a socket while I get a password. I tried: struct termios termios_p; tcgetattr(sd,&termios_p); termios_p.c_lflag &= ~ECHO; tcsetattr(sd,TCSANOW,&termios_p); where sd is the socket descriptor. It didn't seem to make any difference. Am I doing something wrong, or is this not the way it is done these days? Can any one assist, please?
