Title:
  duplicity shows sensitive data in process listing

Status in Duplicity - Bandwidth Efficient Encrypted Backup:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If credentials are given in the command line url parameter these show
  up in 'ps'

  e.g.

  /usr/bin/duplicity --verbosity 4 --encrypt-key FD3846C2 --sign-key
  FD3846C2 --gpg-options= --exclude-globbing-filelist
  /root/.duply/bkp/exclude /backup/
  ftp://<user>:<PASSWORT>@<backupserver>/backup

  suggestion is to introduce env vars URL_PASSWORD/URL_USERNAME and to
  keep FTP_PASSWORD for ftp backend only and backward compatibility. The
  fact that FTP_PASSWORD can be used with nearly all backend is afaik
  not documented. Even so duply 1.5.1.4+ will use it until this bug is
  resolved.

  for the future a config file based auth as mentioned in
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2010-01/msg00032.html
  could make sense.
