protect password?

Hello,

Some functions need you to provide username and password, for instance 
odbc_connect.  Even though the username/password just has minimum access 
privileges to the resource, putting it there in clear text in a script gives 
me heartburn.  How do people handle username/password in such kind of cases? 
I'm sure there must be some way to store critical information in some 
encrypted format but it's still readable to scripts for authentication 
purpose.  But don't know how.  Any ideas or pointer would be greatly 
appreciated.
