At the moment, I'm using the following command to start an FreeRDP session:

```
$ sudo xfreerdp /v:farm.company.com /d:company.com \
    /u:oshiro /p:oshiro_password /g:rds.company.com

```

Works fine. However, I don't want the password to be in the command line like that. So I tried it without the password:

```
$ sudo xfreerdp /v:farm.company.com /d:company.com /u:oshiro /g:rds.company.com

```

And I got a connection failure message instead of some sort of dialog box or prompt asking me to enter in a password.

Is it possible to get this to prompt the user for a password?

**UPDATE: Omitting the `/p` switch**

Without the `/p` switch, I get the following:

```
oshiro@ubuntu:~$ xfreerdp /v:farm.company.com /d:company.com -u:oshiro /g:rds.company.com
connected to rds.company.com:443
