Unzipping a password-protected zip file on OS X Leopard

Quick tip: the default Archive Utility in Leopard can't handle password protected files. If you don't have a copy of stuffit to hand, you can always open up the terminal and use the command unzip [filename] which will prompt you for the password.

Thanks very much, very helpful. Do you know if the gui uses that underlying unzip program and just doesn't handle the case when there's a password?
