You could write a setuid wrapper client that as root or an admin account can relate their local login to the file owned and only readable by the admin account. What sorts of clients do they use? Command line only, gui?

Sharing an id is not a good idea. Is there still authentication?

You could give them a web service, and the web server only would access the file.

	      o DSN prefix
		- The DSN prefix is ibm:.

	      o DSN
		- The DSN can be any of the following:

		     o a) Data source setup using
		       db2cli.ini or odbc.ini

		     o b) Catalogued database name i.e. database alias in the DB2 client catalog

		     o c) Complete connection string in the following format: DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};DATABASE=
		       database;HOSTNAME=  hostname;PORT= port;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID= username;PWD= password; where the parameters represent the fol-
		       lowing values:

			    o $database
			      - The name of the database.

	      Protocol=tcpip
	      Hostname=11.22.33.444
	      Servicename=56789

		"HOSTNAME=11.22.33.444;PORT=56789;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;", "testuser", "tespass");
