Hi,
I want to write a module which will make a directory invisible till
the gid is 140. I want to do this as I want to make it inaccessibe for
the root even(else i can use newgrp). Can anybody give any idea/
reference?

Thanks n Regards,
zix

Mount a filesystem on top of the directory.

I'm not sure if even ACLs can make a file inaccessible to root. I think
selinux can. To make a directory invisible to other users, place it inside
a directory without read or execute permission.
