Subject: How to take password from user

Hi
   I have to take some password from user in a Ruby Program. I want
that when he type password an echo character like  * prints on screen
and the program gets the password as string. I am using Ruby function
"gets" to get password. I don't want password to be seen by others.
   Suggest me some way.
Thanks
sujeet
