      The tools panic when they get a password without an EOF. Consequently, users are unable to supply passwords in the following way:

      echo -n $PASSWORD | mongodump -u admin -p

      We can fix this by checking if there's any data in the pipe, e.g.
       

      bytes, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(os.Stdin)
password := string(bytes)
