Protect Your Files

In UNIX, and on Andrew, it is possible to set protections or access rights to your directories. This gives you the option of limiting the people who can see a particular directory or file. Read the protection setting help file for more information on how to do this.

You should realize, however, that despite the ability to set protections, no computer system with multiple users can be completely secure. Never keep anything on-line that is of a highly personal or confidential matter.
