SQL-LOAD / SQL-PLUS show info on USERID/PSSWRD

Hi all

Working a lot with SQL-LOAD and SQL-PLUS I yesterday found something that frightend me. When calling SQL-LOAD from a script I have to include USERID/PSSWRD. I don't like it this way, but if you're carefull, no problem. But when I started SQL-LOAD and looked at the processes (ps -aux) I was amazed.

It looked something like:

oracle 2140 0.0 0.0 180 0 ? IW 09:51 0:01 sql-load USERID/PSSWRD ..... etc.

Is this a known problem, cause everyone on the machine can ask information about the processes. And this way the know now the USERID/PSSWRD. (and this of course can give some major troubles) How should I solve this problem, any suggestions or remarks are welcome.

Leon
