Make the parfile readable only by the oracle user (or whatever user is running the export).
Scott Shafer San Antonio, TX ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 10:20 PM But (while performing exp) when we grep from os it will display like ps -ef |grep exp result: exp parfile=/ora8/par1 so, somebody can do a more and find the password from the par1 file. Is there any better alternative?

Jack "Tatireddy, Shrinivas (MED, Keane)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> @fatcity.com on 15-11-2001 14:10:26 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: Jack van Zanen/nlzanen1/External/MEY/NL) Hi lists, We can see users password using ps -ef |grep sqlplus (if we run a job using sqlplus scott/tiger @${runfile} ). To prevent this we can run our code sqlplus -s <<EOF scott/tiger @${runfile} EOF Is there a similar way in export hiding the password (preventing users to see the password) . I tried it with EOF. But its not working. I need to setup the export in cron. can anybody through some light on this.....
