And to top it all off, putting the userid and password on the command line pretty much makes it readable by anyone logged onto the box by using the "ps" utility.
In other words, your application itself violates your security requirements.
As far as keeping root users from accessing the password, you need to look into RBAC.

nwuserlist
NWUSERLIST(1) nwuserlist NWUSERLIST(1)
NAME
nwuserlist - List Users logged in at a NetWare server
SYNOPSIS
nwuserlist [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -a ] [ -q ] [ -f [ -d ] [ -D ] [ -t ]]
DESCRIPTION
nwuserlist lists the users logged in at a NetWare server, together with their connection number and their login time.
nwuserlist looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwuserlist
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-a
With option -a the IPX address of the station the user is logged in from is printed as well.
-q
With option -q object ID is printed in addition to user name.
-f
List also files opened by each connection.
-d
List detailed informations about each file.
-D
List DOS filename instead of filename which was used for opening.
-t
Show raw hexadecimal values in addition to human readable conversions.
