I have an access to the school solaris OS. I have my own directory and i want to deny an access to my directory to anyone except me of course and the admin. I want to do that because i can access other people's directory and i can see their files and they can see my files. Thanks in advance

UNIX newbie here

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
