We are using "lynx" on a UNIX box to download files from a secure site. We
currently pass the login and password using the "-auth" argument. It works
well. However, my concern is that while it is running, any user can do a "ps"
and see the login and password in clear text. I was wondering if there is
a way to have the login and password in a file, or set in an environment
variable instead of having it used on the command line.
Thank you, Steven.
