You can set up acls (access control lists). See "man setfacl" and look for the example in the end. You can give specific user the desired permission for a folder.

E.g setfacl -m user:user1:--- folder1

This means "user1" has no access to "folder1". Play around to see if it works for you.

Many Thanks Pankaj and Deol for your reply,

But my original question is as below:

5-6 users are using the same login in one of our Unix server.
Is it possible to lock some folder using seperate user password (user's own password) other than login password by each user (but login is same for all the user), so that that folder is not accessible to other users?

Please guide/suggest me.

Please drop a line if any one need more clarity on this.

With Regards,
Ganapati. Smilie

Did you try the "setfacl" which I suggested. What issues did you have with the command ?
