So the story goes like this. We're a NT/W2K shop. We have various scripts that run DB related jobs but these are in plain text and we'd like to
"hide"

these passwords in some way to allow scripts to run but the passwords not be
"visible" to potential prying eyes. Has anyone cracked this one yet. I've
had a trawl around MetaLink but found nothing of substance.
