I saw someone asking about hidden files and was wondering is the a way to
prevent end user from seeing hidden files? 

I have a . file that I need/use in users directories and some users
have deleted it.  The file owner is root but obviously the user has rights
to the directory so its allowing them to remove it.

Thanks
Jerry
