[SOLVED] Protect your folders without encryption with password from malicious programs/script

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Here I am showing some scripts I am using to protect folders against deletion or from view or both. To protect from deletion only 'chattr' command was used. But to prevent both deletion and viewing I change the parent folder ownership to 'root' and set folder property to 'list files only'. But these operations can be done only by sudoers. But here I will show a script for doing the same by a normal user with separate password for each user. User is allowed to do operation on folder only if proper user password is given. In the .tar file attached three scripts. Extract the three files to '/us (Hardware)

Let's say that I have a folder, within my Documents folder, that has files I want no one to access without a password.

DocLock is a small software (3.5 MB) that is powerful to lock and protect your private files and folders using password you specify. The user interface is very nice, so anyone can easily use and lock their files quickly. To protect and lock your files, simply drag and drop your files you want to protect. [...]

Is it possible to protect a XenServer 6 virtual machine from being deleted? Similar to the protection mode on a amazon ec2 instance. Just an extra step to prevent accidental deletion.

Ideally I would like to allow only a specific user to have the delete privilege.

I searched the manual and duckduckgo/google but didn't find anything.

When I start up Ubuntu 12.10 I see the login screen. I have my account and a guest account as the choices. When I choose my account by clicking on it, I automatically get logged in with out being required to enter my password.

I want to password protect my account so when someone clicks my account, they have to enter the proper password to get in.
