Due to the huge number of platforms I have to support...

At one time some *nix versions allowed you to 'chmod a+x-r-x YourScript.plx' and the script could execute, but someone couldn't copy it, modify it or delete it. I think the 'user:group' had to be 'bin:bin'. It may not work with your platforms, but you could try it.

Your problem is not a technical one, but a management problem!

Have you mentioned this to the manager(s) of the problem user(s).

Why do they want to allow this?

Good Luck! You need it...Ed
