Yeah, but they won't be able to access/execute on your server/account/etc. because they won't know the password...

Yeah it's hardly strong security, but it's something (A tiny encryption/decryption/launcher module with an encrypted sourcefile and the use of compile() might be a little stronger...).

I guess it really comes down to _why_/_what_ he's attempting to password protect. (I was thinking remote-login but on re-reading later responses he's talking a distributed executable so you're quite right).
