now I know this code was not hacker-proof but the popen() call just allowed anyone on the system to capture the password by running the ps command(at the right time of course).

But anyway I think I got some ideas that I should be testing soon. Thanks.
It's not really a silly reason to require credentials when connecting remotely. Do you really want the data to be accessible from anyone on your network? The reason the script works without a password when running on the database server is because the connection is over IPC and the user is already authenticated to the server. If you really don't want/need to authenticate users then set your authentication to CLIENT and then no password will be required. I highly recommend against doing that though.
If your at DB2 9.5 or higher have a look at TRUSTED CONTEXT. It can do things like this but provide greater controls then opening it up to the world.
