oopps! I Meant "Define Variables within a UNIX Script"
What would be the best way to define a variable in a unix shell script so anyone who views this script doesn't know what value is assigned to that variable.
While logged on as root, I created a user 'usera'
I also created a group called 'groupa'
I need to modify the permission of the user i created to not have root privileges.
I also need to change groupa to be in 'others'
please help!
thanks,

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
