I have built a number of PB applications in the past that read in parameters
from an INI file. One such parameter is a user name and password to access a database.
My users now require that i supply security restrictions to this ini file.
Using Windows NT, all i could think of was to give just execute permissions to the ini
file so that users couldn't read it. This, unfortunately, doesn't allow my application
to read from the ini file. Doeas anybody have any ideas how to secure the ini file, i.e. so that
it cannot be read by everybody but allows everybody to run my application!
Ideas Appreciated!
