Package: openchangeclient
Version: 1:2.2-7
Severity: wishlist

mapiprofile and openchangeclient want the password to be passed on the
command line, which in most systems is visible to other users (e.g. in
"ps aux" output).  It's secure on Linux if /proc is mounted with the
hidepid option, but that's not the default and can break other software.

The programs should have a way to read the password from an environment
variable or a file (possibly a /dev/fd path referring to an unlinked
tmpfs file).
