Password Help

Recently I have been wanting to put a password on my home folder so you have to type in a pass to access it. Since i have never attempted this in linux i do not know how it is done. I am running Redhat Linux 9 currently.

just change the permissions so the owner is the "only" one who has access to it.

here's a possibility

It's a step up from changing permissions, as it seems to encrypt files.
