Hide password in AIX

Hi all,

    We used the following tricks to hide password on command line on HPUX:
1. Create a shell environemt var for system password, eg. SYS_PASS=manager
2. Run a sqlscript, eg. $sqlplus system/$SYS_PASS @sql_script

But the same trick used on AIX would reavel naked password for the user. Is there any good way of hiding password?

Thanks,
