Nice Idea, but this box is a production machine. My boss got a heart attack
when I said " recompile ". Anyway I solved the problem using a rather cheap
method.

I hardcode the guy's username/password in a script file and alias the
application name to my script name...
The script looks like

application  << EOF
username/password
$1
EOF

where $1 is a argument the guy passes. ps -ef shows only " application [$1] "
