No MySQL password in ps aux!

[Dotan Cohen <dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just noticed that some CentOS 4 or 5 machine that I don't admin but
have root access to hides MySQL passwords from ps:

Console 1:
$ mysql -u root -pSECRET
mysql >

Console2:
# ps aux
root     32165  0.0  0.1 109408  2204 pts/1    Ss+  11:19   0:00 mysql
-u root -px xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That is really nice, is it a MySQL feature or a CentOS feature? I have
some other servers that I _do_ admin and I'd like to enable this.

Thanks!
