When I am connecting a Mac through ssh, I don't have any GUI.



However, for some of the commands like security find-internet-password, there will be a GUI prompt for the admin's password. How can I have the prompt in the shell instead of GUI?

    This is by design, the security interface requires human interaction (well, GUI interaction). Normal keychain usage is done using an API which allows the user to grant the requesting application permanent access to the stored data for that request.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
