The Samba package is free and works nicely for this. You can
give the file 0644 mods to the file and then make it available
via the "nobody" account as a windog share. Net result is that
anyone can read the stuff but noone accessing the share can
write to it. See www.samba.org for the source or O'Reilly Press'
"Managing Samba" book for good examples on how to set up and
configure it.
Anything which can be read can be copied. If the files
aren't #!-ed then you can give them 0711 mods that allow
execution but not reading. Given the lack of protection
on windog systems, however, I'm not all that sure that
someone can't easily start the execution and then perform
some sort of copy operation on the local box (where the
mods no longer apply).
