Is there a way to implement "execute only" logical names?
That is, a logical name that cannot be translated by the
user for the purpose of looking at the value, but may be
otherwise used.

e.g.

   $ define/system FOO$TEMP "HOST""USERNAME PASSWORD""::DISK$FOO:[TEMP]"

But where you would want to hide the username and password
from $ SHOW LOG FOO$TEMP

Not as far as I know.

Can you not achieve a similar effect with a proxy login to the remote node,
and a suitable check in the remote LOGIN.COM file?
