check_mysql - how to store passwords securely

[Jake Solid]

I use the NRPE deamon my Nagios server to monitor a remote mysql database.

I have the following entry in the nrpe.cfg of my remote server that runs
mysql:

command[check_mysql]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_mysql  -d my_database
-u root -p mypassword

It connects properly BUT Is there a way that I can have the password stored
securely, NOT in a text file.

Thanks.
