Paul,
It's
simple really. Do not allow them to log-on to the Win2k server - don't
give them an account; keep the passwords secret; and keep the machine in a
locked room.

Hello,
If you do that in Win2k, then you have more env variables for 'authorized' people to see when they do a SET <cr>.
Now, to be frank, I have an ulterior (a 'maxed-out' interior or exterior) motive in this reply. I have yet to see an intelligent (never mind elegant) of protecting system variables from someone's view when they do a SET in a DOS session. You can keep them out of Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environmental Variables, but you can't keep them out of DOS, so whaddya do? That's what I want to know. Has anyone confronted this issue and won?
Thank you,

You could set up environment variables and then reference the environment variable in your script.

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.
