Re: [Help-glpk] Passing command line paramters to GLPK

[glpk xypron]

Hello Nigel,

thank You for Your comment.

The security of MySQL passwords is discussed in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/password-security.html

Applying the ideas to GLPK 4.28 would make it the safest to put the password 
into a CSV file with CHMOD 600 and read it when processing the model.

Better would be to create a possibility to interactively enter it, while GLPK 
is processing the model.

Best regards

Xypron
