Hi Gurus,

Thanks to those who replied. We feel that Unix account is easily hacked, so
we will not implement the method that Rachel mentioned. We will probably
"encrypt" the password in another file. Before exporting, we will decrypt
the password before passing the password to the export script. Thanks.

Regds,

                I also did this on all my databases - works very slick.

                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
