If I use ifconfig(8) to set a WPA key or WireGuard secret key, the
key is passed as a command-line argument.  That makes it readable by
other users via ps(1).

Normally, only root is allowed to read such keys, so this is an
info leak.  The wg(8) package is not affected, since it
never passes secrets as command-line arguments.
