If you want to allow only certain users to access a particular
file-system, make a new group with those users and give the
access-permissions to users from that group only, in addition
to the owner. Do not give permissions to 'others'. So, the
chmod command will look something like --

$ chmod u+rwx,g+rx,o= wk

'o=' will disable all permissions for 'others'.

~~ Hi,

~~ Thanks Tom
