sde passwords

They're not ;)  SDE doesn't kerberos or anything like that, I don't 
think, so your only option is to put the password in the DATA string 
so that MapServer can make the connection.  Make sure your mapfiles 
are not world readable (and definitely not in a folder that is served 
to the web).

It'd be handy if MapServer had some sort of credentials-file 
mechanism, where you could specify logins and the layers the belong 
to, but that path might just take us toward the mapfile include feature ;)
