Bug

well...i am no expert on this subject though i understand what you guys are trying to tell .....

what i am trying to do here is simple....i'll have ,say,pass.conf file which will have encrypted password (i'll create it once for all ).

in my expect script,i'll have

Code:
set password "[exec myScript.sh]"

now this myScript.sh should read pass.conf and decrypt the password.This decrypted password will be taken by expect to start its work.

Currently this pass.conf has ASCII text password in it and myScipt.sh is simply reading from it.

'pass.conf' is protected by 600 permissions ,owned by my app id.As such no one would be able to get to this file.


I know i am sounding very novice but thats what i am as far as security and stuff is concerned.I am a developer ,not a sys admin. Smilie

Kindly suggest other ways ,if you wish to.

Regards
Abhi
