More pppd problems

[Ishaaq K Chandy]

 Hi, I forgot to add this problem to my last post:

In my ppp-dialing script I have a line that goes something like this:

/usr/sbin/pppd connect `chat -v "" ATDTmyispnumber CONNECT "" login: username
assword: password "" PPP` /dev/cua1 38400 debug crtscts modem defaultroute

Now the problem is that immediately after running the script if I run a 'ps' I
can get my password in all its plain-text glory!! How can I overcome this?

Thanks in advance,
