People,

Do not use the sqlplus username/password when logging onto Oracle.

By doing a simple ps -ef | grep sqlplus, usernames and passwords are clearly visible.

Example:

	sqlplus lcos_owner/?????????????????

Since this has the word owner, one would guess that this could be production data. Guess the person isn't smart enough to realize that they could jepardize the data and it's integrity.

Be smart....just enter sqlplus THEN your username and password.

Jim
