- Don't write your own shell!  Use zsh, a really fine shell combining the (IMHO)
- best features of tcsh, and ksh.  In zsh, you can hide the command-line
- arguments like the following:
- 
- zsh% ARGV0="Hey, stop snooping!" program
- 
- This can be made into an alias like so:
- 
- zsh% alias hide='ARGV0="None of your business.                               "'

While this may work under SunOS, it does not work (afaik) under IRIX, where 
the mechanism of storing command arguments is different. No, I fear tho only
foolproof method is:

        Buy your own unix system and don't give out logins to it.
