Very odd. This raises a number of questions in my mind:
- Are you absolutely sure you're running version 3.1.5 of htdig, and not
an older version you installed at some point?
- Does the password show up in the process listing for the htdig process
itself, or is it in the listing for a shell script that calls htdig?
- On which OS is this? Most UNIX-like systems get the command arguments
right from the processes stack space, and there's only one copy of these
arguments there. Maybe your OS does some unusual copying of arguments?
- Are you sure the authorization attribute is set correctly in your config
file, with no misspellings? Are you sure htdig is actually using the
config file you think it is?
- Are there any "$" or "`" characters in your authorization attribute
setting that would be interpreted as variable or file substitutions?
If so, they need to be escaped with a "\" in the config file.
