Unix Tip #4541- August 17, 2023
LOCK THAT FILE DOWN
Sometimes you want to make a file very very secure.
To do this, change the permissions to 000
# chmod 000 [file]
No one except root will be able to access it.
Even the owner will have to change the
permissions to be able to do anything to it.
Although It's like a red flag that says..
"I'm an important file"
NOTE: DO NOT EVER DO THIS TO THE /etc/passwd FILE!
NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted
by various unix admins around the globe. UGU suggest you read and
test each tip in a non-volitile environment before placing into
production.
