Write but no Read

Hi,

We have a script that every user runs which outputs some info about where
they're logging on, time stamps etc. Everyone writes their own individual
file to a common folder, so we can quickly find out where they are, who was
using the mchaine at a particular time etc. Works well. Unfortunately,
everybody has read and execute acces to the folder, so they can all open the
files and see the status of other users and computers. This is a
confidentiality risk for us.

Is there any way to create a folder/file that users can write and update,
but they cannot open or execute the files. We were able to do this on Unix
by assigning user, group and other the write permission only. Surely this
is also possible on win2k?

Thanks,

Desmond
 
give read/write permissions to creator owner rather than using username,
only the creator of the file would then have the rights to view it
