In the original report (https://github.com/pgpool/pgpool2/issues/129:
[root@test1 bin]# ./pg_enc -p -P
db password:
encryption key:
encryption key not provided
Also I found a misleading comment:
case 'p': /* prompt for postgres password */
This is not appropriate since the password is not provided to
PostgreSQL. It is totally unrelated to the issue but I replaced it
with following in this opportunity:
case 'p': /* prompt for password to be encrypted */
