- Sorry, kimosabe, no can do... the only way you can do this is to have a
- file containing the password in a directory with the attach command and
- do something like "attach <server>/<login> < file.txt"

- This is a bit of a security risk, though - passwords need to be entered
- to validate user access - designed for security.
