hi,

case in point: openvpn passing username/password in the environment to 
openvpn_bsdauth.

so there's actually a bit of a sensitive data in env that current 
wisdom rightly tends to want to junk as soon as possible.

getenv(3) states, "If getenv() is successful, the string returned 
should be considered read-only.", operative word being "should".

what's the correct way to deal with this (specifically on openbsd if 
there are any facilities that help here, as well as on other 
systems perhaps)?

thanks,
