Problem? solution?
Authored by: capmikee on Aug 08, '04 12:17:58PM

On my 10.2.8 system with all the security patches, my password is encrypted in the preferences.xml file, and in the command line it shows up as ******. So I guess this problem has been fixed.

I managed to use the advice in this topic to connect from the command line, but I had to make my options file readable only by root, which means I have to connect as root. Is it possible to connect as any user and still keep the password hidden? I'm interested in the peers script idea, but I don't know how to write one.
