I found the solution at: http://www.mysql.com/php/manual.php3?section=Password_security You create ~/.my.cnf and add this: [client] password=your_pass Then you don't need to specify the password on the command line as shown above. I'd still like feedback about my points 1 and 2 in my original post. cheers. -- Dan Langille [I'm looking for more work] http://www.langille.org/ | http://www.unixathome.org/ http://www.racingsystem.com/ | http://www.freebsddiary.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
