Re: password visibility for encfs in eshell

The output of <M-x version>:

"GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.6) of
2013-12-22 on brahms, modified by Debian"

I use Debian Jessie (the current testing) and use the emacs24 package
from the testing repos and I use encfs in the version 1.7.3.

What should be notet, though, is that I use German debian repos, so the
password prompt used the German word "EncFS-Passwort:" If I had known
earlier that eshell uses a regex for password promt detection, I would
have mentioned that earlier. When I have some time I'll try version 24.4
or tinker with the regex. Just recently learned regular expressions ;)

Greetings, Michael.
