Password Visibility - did I miss something?
1997-01-22 12:50:09
I've had this same problem with other software. At some point the program
runs something with secure information such as a password as parameters, and
thus
ps can reveal information you don't want out. So when I got adsm installed on
my AIX box I checked the ps listing and saw that dsmc had -password= but no
password visible. Therefore I assumed that the obvious security problem of
passwords on the command line was taken care of.
Am I wrong about this? Maybe there's another ps command that will reveal more
information?
