Hi,

I have a script
1) Normal user have to run that script and normal user should not see the contents of that script.
2)That script has nmap command. so need to give access to run nmap command also.

I like this post, no questions, no answers; kind of TODO list

I have a script
1) how to provide permission to Normal user to run that script and normal user should not see the contents of that script.
2)That script has nmap command. so how to give permission to run nmap command in normal user.

1. shc, see here http://www.datsi.fi.upm.es/~frosal/
2. sudo, see man page or google

pan64,

2. sh, run «sh -c 'nmap -n www.linuxquestions.org'» as a regular user, it gives pretty much fair results

as alternative to obfuscation/compilation (1st question), it is common to delegate actual reading/execution to a privileged process; it can be wrapper with SUID bit (e.g. sudo) or a daemon process with socket/API (e.g. HTTP daemon with CGI)
