I've been noticing that in FreeBSD, when I run the MySQL client with a password specified on the command line (eg. mysql -pMyPassword MY_DATABASE), the password is not masked when I (or any other user!) issue a "ps" or "w" command. > patrick 47724 ... 11:49AM 0:00.03 mysql -pMyPassword MY_DATABASE I recently switched from Linux, and somehow it knew to mask the password: > patrick 47724 ... 11:49AM 0:00.03 mysql -p******* MY_DATABASE Does anyone know if this is a FreeBSD issue, or is it a problem in the way that MySQL is compiled for FreeBSD?
