Re: HOWTO : permit a user to execute a shell (root is owner) and restric the read

[Adam H. Pendleton]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you cannot execute a file without being able to read it. You have to be able to open the file in order to read the code inside to execute. You might be able to achieve this result by using ACL systems such as www.grsecurity.net, but I doubt it.
