sqlplus password not hidden on ps -ef command

edited Jul 12, 2010 6:43PM in SQL*Plus (MOSC) 10 commentsAnswered
             When  a  non-root user does a "ps -ef|grep sqlplus" on the command line at the time of execution of the command "sqlplus sys/password as sysdba",he is able to see the password.

             The password is hidden in linux but not on the unix platforms.In case of linux it is displayed as "sqlplus          as sysdba".I have tried many solutions on the internet but none of them are working.Can you please suggest me a working solution?

Thanks in advance.
