getpass() is a system function used by the 'mysql'-client to prompt
for the password.

The above is from the mysql privilege file (doesn't have anything to
do with getpass())
Ray> foo: {121} % ./mysql -u hodel -p
Ray> Enter password:
Ray> pass = test

Yes. This means that mysqld did never get an password from you and
this could mean that getpass() doesn't work.
