THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS, JUST USE THE FILE-SYSTEM TO PROTECT THE FILES 
(MAKE THEM NOT WRITEABLE).  Scripts are no more susceptible to sabotage and 
misuse than binary files, it is just that scripts can be more easily decoded 
and understood than binary files, and so management (that usually doesn't know 
much about a computer system) becomes frightened and issues orders to relieve 
their stress.
