We have created a directory /usr/local/admin/adsm that only root can read.
That way only a root user can be able to look at the scripts, our root
users have admin rights to TSM. We have been using this for quite a while
with no problems.

Subject: Automated Admin Access.
Greetings, all.
I have several scripts I run to perform "automatic" maintainance and
profiling
on my storage pools. Some of these scripts have bits that require a real
admin logon (such as a BACK STG PREVIEW=YES) so I've heretofore run them
attended, and typed in userid and password. I'd really like them to be able
to run completely unattended, but I hate the thought of leaving ID and
password hanging around on a filesystem in plaintext.
Have any of you folks encountered and/or solved this problem on AIX?
Hmm.. An IP filter, permitting or forbidding admins access based on where
they're coming from might make this simpler..
