instead of that, I create an account in the database that is identified
externally (can only run from that server, and does not have a login
password). You will need a matching Unix account for it, if the unix account
is "exportacct" then create the database account as "ops$exportacct"
grant this account create session and exp_full_database
then change your shell script to read userid="/" and run the script from
the exportacct account
this way you don't need to hardcode a password ANYWHERE
