Scripting and passwords



What do people do when they want to invoke "ldapmodify" etc from a script?
Putting the password on the command line is silly, because it can be seen
by "ps".  Do they use "-W" and cobble up a Tcl/Expect script (and if so,
could they share it)?

If there's any interest, I'm prepared to modify ldap* to read the
password from a file (or standard input).
