hidden and hiding files and folders

807559Feb 3 2003 — edited Feb 15 2003
how do I hide or unhide hidden files or folders??

I have a directory that I want to hide so that other people can't see it or get access to it. (or at least limit the people who can see it and get access to it.) How do I set it up to protect that directory and any file that goes into it?

cuz...I have two separate accounts (lets say....x and y) and I want only x and y and root to be able to have access to (e.g.) /home/directory

What command do I use to make it a "hidden file/folder"? (well..the Solaris equilvalent to a Windows hidden file or folder)
