RE: protecting the property file

You'd want to have the application run as User X, and have the property
file's permissions set up so that only User X can read or change it.
Make sure that nobody insecure can sign on as User X.

Subject: protecting the property file

Since property file sometime contains generic userID/password, I just
wonder how one prevents user from viewing the property file and at the
same time allow that application to access it.
