Why should there even be a -u option?  Is there any reason why stdin can't
simply be redirected?  That avoids an key letter as well as the protection
issue.  If it's necessary to ask any questions, stderr could be used, just
as getpass(3) does.

Incidentally, the best way to fork off to read the thing is to attempt the
open, and only fork if errno shows a protection violation and access()
succeeds.
