sqlplus security

Hi. Is there any way to prevent users from logging in to the database using:

$ sqlplus <user>/<password>

This presents a security problem since anyone doing a ps can pick these up.

We would like people to login using:
$ sqlplus

Enter user-name: <user>
Enter password: <password>

Alternatively can sqlplus disguise it's command line arguments so no one can pick them up?
