On rather simple way is to have an AIX file that is only readable by root that 
has these 2 variables in it such as:
ID=test
PASS=secret

Your scripts that do work then read this file to get these variables.
It depends on how SECURE you need to be, this would be ok for general 
situations.

All:
I'm new to the listserv, and ADSM, but not AIX.
Question: how do I include a dsmadmc command (a select query) in one of my
Korn shell scripts without advertising a name & password by including it in
the script, i.e., "dsmadmc -id=xxxxxx -pa=xxxxxx select ...."?
Thanks!
