Encrypting DB passwords in the config

[Matt.A.Cleveland at healthnet.com]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me there is no way to encrypt
database passwords or any other configuration data that is stored in the
config?  This is particularly bad in that the password is also displayed on
the config in the UI.  Has anyone else dealt with this issue?
