Best Regards, Prasad "O'Neill, Sean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> non.ie> cc: Sent by: Subject: Hiding passwords [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com 09/23/2003 10:24 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L So the story goes like this. We're a NT/W2K shop. We have various scripts that run DB related jobs but these are in plain text and we'd like to "hide" these passwords in some way to allow scripts to run but the passwords not be "visible" to potential prying eyes. Has anyone cracked this one yet. I've had a trawl around MetaLink but found nothing of substance. ------------------------- Seán O' Neill Organon (Ireland) Ltd.
