So, there are two problems you are trying to solve.
That script was just to demo the connection process.
Personally, I use the Password server from "Perl for Oracle DBA's"
It uses that 'Perl' language that Niall referred to. :)
The version in the book uses plain text config file.
It was 'enhanced' sometime after publication of the book to allow
storing the config file with the passwords in an encrypted
format using RC4.
RC4 is old, but still fairly robust.
There are commercial password servers that have similar capabilities.
Password Manager Pro for instance has facilities to retrieve passwords
from the command line for use in scripts.
