When I use sql mode:
M-x sql-msql, then follow prompts,
I get the interactive sql buffer which works very well for me. The only
problem is that when I list the processes, the mysql process shows my
password, and I would like to know if there is something I can do to
conceal it?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 102% ps -ef | grep sql
rb 29562 29372 0 08:44:27 pts/4 0:00 grep sql
rb 29717 15897 0 08:43:34 pts/8 0:00
/usr/freeware/bin/mysql --user=rb --password=my_password
--host=sanmarco test
I was trying to find wheter there was a customizable variable to
conceal/display password and with M-x customize-apropos, I discovered
that the password was displayed in the customization buffer as well:
Sql Password: Hide my_password
State: this option has been changed outside the customize buffer.
Default password. More
Parent groups: Sql
If I start an ineractive mysql session at the command line in an xwsh
shell, I get the following (password not displayed):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 101% ps -ef | grep sql
rb 29598 29535 0 08:31:14 pts/6 0:00 mysql -h
sanmarco -u rb -p test
Also, working in shell-mode within emacs, to process a batch file, my
password is displayed in the *shell* buffer, and is retained in the
command history list.
>From Emacs shell buffer:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 98% mysql -vv -h sanmarco -u rb -p < dbs.sql > dbs.out0222
mysql -vv -h sanmarco -u rb -p < dbs.sql > dbs.out0222
Enter password: my_password
Within the shell, any other commands requiring a password (ssh, rlogin,
su, etc), the password is properly not displayed.
This is GNU Emacs 21.3.1. Thank you, sorry if there's an obvious or
known solution...
