Yes, I will split this in two patches:

 - first patch implement the echo on/off in a function and call it only
for http auth, feature-equivalent to this patch

 - second (new) patch will attempt to do the 'priv' command

I am afraid I do not have much more free time than anyone here, so will
try to do this over the weekend.

Thank you Karl for the very detailed answer, I should be able to wade
