Not familiar with what you're referring to, but 'chmod 600' should do it. Unless you want people *not* to hide stuff. I'm not sure what you're asking.

This is what you need: Loopback Encrypted Filesystem

One word for you: GPG (http://www.gnupg.org/). It's the standard on Slackware.

For more information, enter the following commands:

whatis gpg
apropos gpg
man gpg

Hope this helps!

So who's root? If it's just to keep your brothers out of your crap, dad should be root

and you should just chmod everything like I said. That way only the owner (and root, of course) can see them. They'll see /home/you but that's it. Unless your brothers are ace hackers and then you need to look into the heavier guns everybody else is talking about.
