Hi folks

How to avoid putting passwords in shell scripts?
The solution doesn't need to be perfect, only better than plain text passwords in scripts. Mostly remote host only support password authentication (no certificates and so on).
postgresql supports a .pgpasswd file in the users home directory thats permission 600, so only the owner can access it. Maybe Oracle has something similar?
