We do it by making a file that only root can read or appropriate group that
has the passwords in it. We then do the following in our scripts:
cat /var/adsm/admin | read usr pw
dsmc -id=$usr -pass=$pw .........
Now the passwords are not in the script and there is only one place to go to
change the password if needed. This still leaves them exposed by the ps
command for the short time that the commands run.
