If your system supports acl's you can limit ps that way. Or put users in a chroot jail.

Basically, if you want to protect an application password the way the OP wants to use one, you really should not let users get to the unix prompt.

acl_trivial

acl_trivial(3SEC)				       File Access Control Library Functions					 acl_trivial(3SEC)

NAME

       acl_trivial - determine whether a file has a trivial ACL

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lsec [ library... ]
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int acl_trivial(char *path);

DESCRIPTION

       The acl_trivial() function is used to determine whether a file has a trivial ACL. Whether an ACL is trivial depends on the type of the ACL.
       A POSIX draft ACL is trivial if it has greater than MIN_ACL_ENTRIES. An NFSv4/ZFS-style ACL is trivial if it either has entries other  than
       owner@, group@, and everyone@, has inheritance flags set, or is not ordered in a manner that meets POSIX access control requirements.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, acl_trivial() returns 0 if the file's ACL is trivial and 1 if the file's ACL is not trivial. If it could not be
       determined whether a file's ACL is trivial, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The acl_trivial() function will fail if:

       EACCES	 A file's ACL could not be read.

       ENOENT	 A component of path does not name an existing file or path is an empty string.
