What good would such a thing achieve? | just a homework from my master :) Just tell him "no". I guess you _could_ hack the cp source to implement some totally arbitrary restriction. Not very productive. Or you could make the file genuinely not publicly readable and owned by a particular user, and then put a setuid or setgid command somewhere to access it.
