I'll put your three points into one to improve the thread of this
discussion:
==============
Thanks for your reply.
The file is in an assigned to me folder. But a Netware network administrator
can open the *.bkf file. How to forbid him opening? How to with Novell's
utilities make this file accessible only to my id?
The Netware network administrator can open the *.bkf file because he knows
my password.
Can a Netware network administrator know my password which was set from my
workstation? Can he open files or folders in my private "home" folder?
================
You've given new information now to say that "others" is the network
admininstrator ... that's different.
I am puzzled why your network admin knows our password. That doesn't
sound secure in the base case. Normall network admins should not know
that. And by policy, they should be prevented from accesing people's
folders. This would be a *policy* enforceable by management. I've seen
companies where network admins get fired if they do this.
It is possible that yokur network admin cannot get into your
workstation, but it all depends on how your organisation setup your
workstation and access to network. It certainly is possible they know
the admin password or otherwise can access.
There is probably nothing preventing network admins, or someone with
admin id/password from seeing anything on your computer. With physical
access to your computer, one can get in.
To hide the backup file, you should consider encrypting it with some
encryption too with a password known only to you. You can buy such a
program, or get free by download downlaod somehere.
That being said the network admin can probaably access the source data,
so what's the point of protecting the backup? For you to consider.
Talk to your network admin and find out from him/her the company
policies, if they can access, and the degree of privacy you actually
have and are allowed.
