Re: Hiding username/password from ps

My version V6.0.36.0.1 of sqlplus doesn't display the uid/passwd on the command line:

sqlplus scott/tiger

from another shell:
ps -aux | grep sql

don       3182  0.0  0.2   32  208 p0 S    15:34   0:00 grep sql
don       3179  0.0  0.5  184  488 p1 S    15:34   0:00 sqlplus

My version 7.0.16.6.0 sqlplus, however, does: ps -ef | grep sql

     don  4416  4401  3 15:37:13 pts/1    0:00 grep sql
     don  4412  4383 24 15:36:56 pts/0    0:00 sqlplus scott/tiger

I don't know why I get this behavior, but I do. Perhaps the version 6 sqlplus has been patched so it doesn't show the arguments.
