Problem Description
With the 100.3.0 addition of --config, the following new log message was added:
WARNING: On some systems, a password provided directly using <X OPTION> may be visible to system status programs such as `ps` that may be invoked by other users. Consider using the --config option to specify a configuration file with the password.
However, this is unnecessary, and possibly misleading, in the following two cases for bsondump, which cannot use any of the three options supported with --config:
/tmp/dump/test $ bsondump --password 12345 2021-02-11T14:20:57.640-0500 WARNING: On some systems, a password provided directly using --password may be visible to system status programs such as `ps` that may be invoked by other users. Consider omitting the password to provide it via stdin, or using the --config option to specify a configuration file with the password. 2021-02-11T14:20:57.640-0500 error parsing command line options: unknown option "password" 2021-02-11T14:20:57.640-0500 try 'bsondump --help' for more information /tmp/dump/test $ bsondump --sslPEMKeyPassword 12345 2021-02-11T14:21:28.733-0500 WARNING: On some systems, a password provided directly using --sslPEMKeyPassword may be visible to system status programs such as `ps` that may be invoked by other users. Consider using the --config option to specify a configuration file with the password. 2021-02-11T14:21:28.733-0500 error parsing command line options: unknown option "sslPEMKeyPassword" 2021-02-11T14:21:28.733-0500 try 'bsondump --help' for more information
Note that this extra log message does not appear with -uri , the third of the three supported options for use with -config :
/tmp/dump/test $ bsondump --uri test 2021-02-11T14:21:05.216-0500 error parsing command line options: unknown option "uri" 2021-02-11T14:21:05.217-0500 try 'bsondump --help' for more information
It is difficult to consider a ticket less significant in scope and impact, so feel free to disregard if not worth our time. Otherwise, hope this helps!
Steps to Reproduce
Run the following two command invocations of bsondump:
bsondump --password 12345 bsondump --sslPEMKeyPassword 12345
