Gary, Elmer, Re: <Why can't the system admin simply deny execute privileges>. Because these systems are INTENDED for multiple users to design programs, execute them, run AGAIN and AGAIN into WRONG opcodes, debug these programs WITHOUT CRUSHING and REBOOTING the system, and eventually get results. "Simply deny execute privileges" is equivalent to turn these system OFF. For your info, computing is not limited to Web browsing for stock news and watching silly Java pictures, as you both seem to think...

Regards,

Ali

<That is not how UNIX is designed. All I can say is they cannot.
The only reasonable solution is to disable the shell access
(telnet and dialup as well as rsh).>

Gary, I think they can. chmod 666 *
