File Protection

Hi,

I've been looking for a way to protect some of our non-public files
so that some of the more curious folks and techno-crazies will
only get a screen full of garbage when doing a cat of say, the
passwd file, including a crypted field instead of a user name.

Have also looked into a restricted shell but it's really is too
restrictive and doesn't fit our needs. We'd prefer to do this outside
of Enhanced Security since there are 1400+ user accounts and it would
be a major chore to redo all the accounts under Enhanced Security. Not
enough time, staff, money etc.

Any ideas on this?


Our sys-config:
===============

OSF1 V3.2 214 alpha (DEC Unix) - DEC 3000/600


Yours in chaos,
