Ksh question:
In "The KORN shell Command and Programming language", by Bolsky & Korn,
Part I INTRODUCTION, page 6.
"BETTER SECURITY. Ksh allows a system administrator to log and/or
disable all priviledged scripts. On current UNIX systems, users need
read permission to execute a script. With ksh, a system administrator
can allow ksh to read and execute a script without giving a user
permission to read it"
Exactly what I want : have a file with permissions --x--x--x
and have everyone execute it without being able to read it.
I (actually 2 of us) cannot find in the whole book how this could be done.
How do you do it ?
