Bhargav Joshi commented on CASSANDRA-15278:
-------------------------------------------

In addition, sstableloader should be able to read username and password from 
cqlrshrc 

> User's password for sstableloader tool is visible in ps command output.

> As of now, the password is visible in ps auxww output to any of the system 
> user if the command line utility for sstableloader is used. This seems to be 
> a security flaw. There should be an alternate option to pass the user's 
> password other than as a command line argument.
