Possible security issue with the FTAM ocp command

Hi all,
I have a potential issue on one of my systems whereby when the ocp command
is issued from within a script (part of an issued product) the user and
password of the user on the remote host can be seen in the ps -ef display. I
am uneasy that this could compromise security on the remote host.
A further note:
The ocp command needs to be run in non-interactive mode in this case.
 
I am running DU 4.0D PK3 on a 4100
 
Has anyone come across this and found a solution?
I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
I will summarise.
Many Thanks,
 
Neil McAully,
