Hello Edwin, Ehrwin,
$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.10a, for pc-linux-gnu (i686)
I tried it several times, and the password always appears to me in like
$ ps -ef | grep mysql
mysql -u user -px xxxxxxx database
When I write the password interactively, no replaced password appears:
$ ps -ef | grep mysql
mysql -u user -p database
The difference could be the version of the client (probably not the server).

I can see my pwd if I do a "ps"

That isn't true. If you make a ps, you will see something like "mysql
-p x xxxxxxxx ................".
As I said before, you can use something like:
"mysql -uUser --password=`cat password_file` db"
FYI,
Nuno is correct you cannot see the password in the 'ps' and my scripts
is just an example you can modify it for more security like putting it
a config file or much better if you can use perl. Don't forget the
user privileges only.
Hm... May be it's OS (or MySQL version) depending stuff but following shows
me you're wrong.
