Create a dummy user dummy with pw as dummy and only with create session priv. Execute a sql script which will connect to the username/pw and which does not have read privs at os level for others. May be someone on the list has a better idea. HTH GovindanK On Fri, 16 Jan 2004 10:04:35 -0800,

2) . $HOME/.orapwd sqlplus user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] This will actually show password because shell will interpret the ORAPWD variable before passing the arguments to fork/exec combination. Password will be clearly visible by ps -ef. Yep, you're right... I missed this somehow... Thanks,
