[Discuss] Passwords in Source Code?? Or, How to secure interprocess communications?

Rather than password authentication you should look at other mechanisms 
like SSH's public key authentication or Kerberos keytabs. What's 
probably better is to use a role-based access control mechanism where 
only processes with the requisite roles can access the secure system.
