i installed my redhat 9 a few hours back so really don't have any clue abt this

it's like i wan't to make a guest account with only reading privileges that means he 's not allowed to do anything (for my younger sister since she is very fond of deleting my files)

Just make a user. Users are usually not allowed to write to other users' files.

Yep a user is a limited account, just make sure she can't figure out your root password
