setting mysql passwords securely

Is there any way to set a password for a mysql account without the password being displayed or logged in a file?
For example if I am creating a Unix account, I can use the passwd command to let the user set his own password without me ever seeing it. With mysql, this doesn't seem to be possible. All of the methods for setting a password seem to involve the cleartext password being displayed on the screen, and possibly being stored in the command history.
