Hi, How do I do partial encryption of shell script? For example, #!/usr/bin/csh set options = (a b c)
#//I want the following lines to be encrypted or scrambled so that the users cannot modify them //

I'm not certain what you are asking. If some other unix user has permission to change your script, why wouldn't they still do it even if part of it is encrypted? I'd tighten up the script permissions.

That's because user has to provide the a,b,c options in the script. They don't have to know the rest.

Sorry, but I'm still not understanding your problem. You can grant a non-root user the ability of executing a script and take away the read ability.
