Hiding database connection strings from xml file

Hi ,
I have a configuration file with the following structure:
<CONFIG>
<DEFAULTS operator="oraread">
<PROPERTY name="hostname" value="myhostname"/>
<PROPERTY name="port" value="12343"/>
<PROPERTY name="dbname" value="dbname"/>
<PROPERTY name="connectstring" value="connectstring"/>
</DEFAULTS>
</CONFIG>

I read these parameters and pass hing to unix script that opens a sql connection based on the supplied parameters.
Now problem is that any user can read this file.
Is there a better way to hide these configuration parameters so that they can be acessed by specific programs(like setting them on the .profile)?
