There are too many programs in the world that allow ctrl-D to exit
normally for you to say, "Ctrl-D shouldn't exit," and leave it at
that.
When a program receives EOF, that's supposed to be *it*, that
program is supposed to realize that it's reached end-of-file and exit.
Programs which then go and try to read from the tty again just aren't,
in my opinion, behaving civilly.
I do not think it's a problem to have passwd to print "Password
Incorrect." if it receives EOF. Passwd.real already does that:
pit-manager% passwd.real jik
Old password:
Sorry.
jik
