Hello,
I need to protect the .cshrc user file from user's access. What access
mode must be set up on the file and on the user's directory ?
Thank for any help . Jean-Pierre.

What user(s) are you attempting to prevent access to .cshrc? FWIW, if
a user cannot read their OWN .cshrc file, they cannot execute it,
either. I tried chmod 110 .cshrc, and indeed I could not read the
file, but it turns out I could not EXECUTE (source) it, either.
Sounds to me like you might want to consider the use of a restricted
shell. Is that what you're looking for?

Yes I need to execute it only ( I need to change it from root account
only ) and I have tried chmod 110 also and I got your results.
How can I setup a restricted shell for these features ?
Thank you for your help. JP

I don't use csh, instead I use ksh or bash, so I'm not sure if there is
a csh equivalent or not. But I can give you an example of how my
ftphost restricted shell, rksh entry looks in /etc/passwd:
+masinick:::103::/users/ftpuser:/usr/bin/rksh
This system allows me to login and do things, such as telnet and ftp
files, and a few other limited commands, which can be setup as needed.
See the documentation on ksh/rksh for starters.
