encrypting or protecting nagios config files

[Peter Lecki]

You can use the resource.cfg file to store credentials, which is a
secured file.  Credentials can then be passed as variables to service
definitions such as $PASSWORD1$ and it will pull the actual password
string from the secured resource file.

All,
    in commands.cfg or in service definition file we  have to enter
password community string and such.  I was wondering if there is any way
to encrypt that or setup a system where those information relayed to
nagios process in the memory and there is no way to access them?  Please
advise on this.  Thanks

Cordially,
