Our usual approach to \r characters is that they're whitespace.  I wonder
whether the most friendly solution here is to chomp all trailing
whitespace.  Anybody ever heard of using a trailing space or tab in a
password?

    while (len > 0 && strchr(" \t\r\n", buf[len - 1]) != NULL)
        buf[--len] = '\0';
