Re: Security question: sqlplus and the ps cmd on Unix

You don't really have to go to all that trouble. Here is what I did. 1. Create a file that contains you id and password (ex larry/goodday).

   The files name could be logid.sql.

2. Make the file read/write only be the owner.
3. Create another file that is r/w/e by owner.  I called mine sql.
4. In this file include the command sqlplus _at_logid.
5. To logon to sqlplus just execute the sql file.  It will pickup the 

Now when someone uses the ps command all they should see is sqlplus _at_logon.
FYI We are using version 7.0 of Oracle.
