mydumper shows password in processlist
Asked by
HighKing
Hi,
I'm new to mydumper and think it's a great tool, but what worries me is that the password for the account used to create the export is shown in the process list.
I can live with the fact that I have to provide the password at the command-line, but showing the password in the processlist is a big security risk as all users on a normal Linux machine can see all processes... and thus see a username/password combination which they can use to login at MySQL...
Is there any way to secure this in mydumper?
