I just noticed that some CentOS 4 or 5 machine that I don't admin but have root access to hides MySQL passwords from ps:
Console 1: $ mysql -u root -pSECRET mysql >
Console2: # ps aux root 32165 0.0 0.1 109408 2204 pts/1 Ss+ 11:19 0:00 mysql -u root -px xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That is really nice, is it a MySQL feature or a CentOS feature? I have some other servers that I _do_ admin and I'd like to enable this.
Thanks!
