Why would you do this? It's going to pop up a prompt for a password for every module you have ... that can be hundreds to thousands in a distribution kernel, so it's unscalable. The usual way we do this is to put the password into an environment variable (insecure but scalable) but I suppose if you have a more secure solution there might be interest. Regards, James
