Good afternoon all!! I am writing a shell script that will generate a random phrase to be used as a password.
this is the line I use to generate the password
The third input in the command is the length of the password i want to use.
What I do next is login to a Oracle DB and change a user accounts password using what was generated. I would prefer that password nor its generation of it be discover via ps or anything like that. My question is what gets captured by the server in the /proc/PID/ folders or any server logs? Is there a way to work around any of that being captured? Thanks.

nwauth
NWAUTH(1) nwauth NWAUTH(1)NAME
nwauth - Verify username/password
SYNOPSIS
nwauth [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -D ]
DESCRIPTION
nwauth does nothing but logging into a NetWare server. If the login was successful, an error code of 0 is returned. If the login was not
successful, an error code of 1 is returned. It was designed for use by other programs who want authenticate users via a NetWare server.
If there is no -P or -n option specified on command line, nwauth always expects a password on stdin. If the stdin is a tty, then the user
is prompted for a password. Otherwise nwauth simply reads stdin for a password.
nwauth looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server and a user name if they are not specified on command line. See nwclient(5)
for more information. Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons.
OPTIONS -h
-h is used to print a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user name
If the user name your NetWare administrator gave to you differs from your unix user-id, you should use -U to tell the server about your
NetWare user name.
-D
nwauth says that your password is correct if you have existing connection to server with name user name. This is handy for some shell
scripts, but it is unacceptable for authorization modules, such as PAM, PHP or Apache. It was pointed to me that this behavior was not
well known, and there exist at least one PAM module which does not know that (this module is not part of ncpfs; you should use PAM mod-
ule which comes with ncpfs instead anyway).
