[Dovecot] doveadm: Fatal: open(/dev/tty)

[Dan Langille]

I received this message today, and remembered, you can't do that...

$ doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT
Enter new password: doveadm(dan): Fatal: open(/dev/tty) failed: No such 
file or directory
</pre>

It seems if you have no tty, you can't create a password.  Surely there 
is a better way to do this?

Looking at the code, it's trying to open the tty and turn off echo.

For the record: FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE-p3

And yes, there is no console.  I'm attached to a FreeBSD jail from the 
host system, directly via the ezjail-admin console command.
