It is possible to be wrong related to the understanding of "restricted file". What do you think about...do you have other opinion about it?

If it's in a user's home directory, the user pretty much has permissions to do anything they want with it.

IIRC about the only thing a user can't do to finles and directories in a directory the user owns is delete a directory owned by another user that has the setgid-bit set on it.

What problem are you trying to solve?

NAME
XPAUsers - Distinguishing Users SYNOPSIS
XPA normally distinguishes between users on a given host, but it is possible to send data to access points belonging to other users. DESCRIPTION
A single XPA name service typically serves all users on a given machine. Two users can register the same XPA access points on the same machine without conflict, because the user's username is registered with each access point and, by default, programs such as xpaget and xpaset only process access points of the appropriate user. For example: XPA xpa1 gs 838e2f67:1262 eric XPA xpa2 gs 838e2f67:1266 eric XPA xpa1 gs 838e2f67:2523 john XPA xpa2 gs 838e2f67:2527 john Here the users "eric" and "john" both have registered the access points xpa1 and xpa2. When either "john" or "eric" retrieves information from xpa1, they will process only the access point registered in their user name. If you want to access another user's XPA access points on a single machine, use the -u [user] option on xpaset, xpaget, etc. For example, if eric executes: xpaget -u john xpa1 he will access John's xpa1 access point.Use "*" to access all users on a given machine: xpaget -u "*" xpa1 Note that the XPA Environment Variable XPA_NSUSERS can be used to specify the default list of users to process: setenv XPA_NSUSERS "eric,john" will cause access points from both "eric" and "john" to be processed by default.
