Re: Restricting ISQL access to Administrators only

Dunno if it helps - but if your users are a bit novice you could alias the isql command : alias "isql=echo" (works under ksh, not sure about the others) But the obvious way of doing it is to put an "isql" file in any directories references first in the PATH: PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:$HOME/bin:$INFORMIXDIR/bin so create one in /bin (BTW:THIS IS BAD PRACTICE ! normally used create a /local/bin or something similar and make sure that is in everyones path) The program could do anything... The advantage of this is they can still get access by typing $INFORMIXDIR/bin/isql - but they're not likely to know that. Hope that helps - mail me if you want more info. -- -- Mike Aubury _\\?/_ |O O| +----------oOOO-\\_/-OOOo---------+---------------------------- -+ | Heisenberg may have been here | mike@aubury.demon.co.uk | | | http://www.flash.net/~aubit | +--------------------------------+---------------------------- -+
