Hi friends,

If you are specific to Linux, then yes (in pure linux/unix or when  samba is the domain controller and you map your home drive to your window machine)

The convenctional method of using chmod 700 will help.  This makes all your files readable only to you, nobody from your group or others will be able to even access it.

In case you want to give read only permission to all, use chmod 555..
