got a question...can i put a password protection on one folder in 10.2? how do i do that? its not in one of the user folders...its right on the hardrive...thanks
it's a unix system. each file/folder in your home area has certain permissions dictating how you, your group, and others access it.
but if you're logged in, even if someone else sits down at the computer, they're still "you."
the unix-way to handle this is not let anyone else use your login. if they need to use your computer, set them up w/ their own account and have them log in (after you log out).
then you can use the unix file permissions to hide whatever you want to from this "other" account.
check out the chmod command, run from the command line.
