By keeping your passwords in a recoverable form in the script, and including code to recover them in your script, you're giving would-be crackers step-by-step instructions to obtain your password.
chmod 600 is better security than this.

lsh-krb-checkpw
LSH-KRB-CHECKPW(8) lsh manuals LSH-KRB-CHECKPW(8)
NAME
lsh-krb-checkpw - program to check a Kerberos username/password combination
SYNOPSIS
lsh-krb-checkpw username-to-check
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the lsh-krb-checkpw command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the orig-
inal program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.
lsh-krb-checkpw is a program that checks if a username and password combination is valid for login by doing a kerberos lookup. It is
designed to be used as a password helper program for lshd (8), (eg. --password-helper=/usr/sbin/lsh-krb-checkpw.
lsh-krb-checkpw takes one required argument, which is the username, and reads the password from stdin, then returns 0 if the password is
valid, or 1 otherwise. Note that the password must be supplied exactly, ie. there must be no newline after the password, so if invoking
from a shell, just type "<your-password><CTRL-D>".
SEE ALSO
lsh(1), lshd(8). The programs are documented fully by Lsh, available via the Info system.
