If you mean just changing a file so that it can be accessed by its owner
and the associated group, but nobody else, then you can do a "chmod 660
filename", which will give read/write access to the file to its owner and
group, and no access to anyone else. If you want execute permission as
well, then do "chmod 770 filename". If you're fuzzy on the chmod concept
(I was for a long time), just do a "man chmod" -- it will do a much better
job explaining the usage than I would. =)
