[drbd-mc] Using DRBD MC with sudo will leave cleartext password visable with ps -ef

[Kulovits Christian - OS ITSC]

Hello,

We are using DRBD MC for some Linux Clusters, and it is a very great tool.
We are not allowed to login with root account to our systems for admin purposes and so we use the sudo facility from the mc. We have su and sudo configured to get used without password for our admins, but when using the mc we could see the cleartext password with the ps -ef command:

user  13768 29341  0 10:50 pts/2    00:00:00 bash -c trap - SIGPIPE;echo "PASSWORD"|sudo -S -p '' bash -c "trap - SIGPIPE; { nice -n 19 /usr/local/bin/drbd-gui-helper-0.8.6 hw-info-lazy; } 2>&1" 2>/dev/null

Is there another way to establish required authority, eg. sudo without password, or su -l (without password)?

Regards, Christian
