They easy way of hiding files is giving a dot at begin of a name, but they can still be listed (using ls -a)... I'm not sure, but take a look at some "Role-based Access Control" systems - like SELinux and GRSecurity... probably this would help you... maybe...

you can prevent un-privilaged users from vuiewing or running the file.you can prevent un-privilaged users from going inside a folder.but you cannot hide the file, there is no need to hide a file, except to clean up cluttered folders by hiding configs etc with the '.; char.as for hiding running processes, there is no reason you would want to do this.you seem to be talking about root kits, but thats a big no no here.

What you could do is add the file to a .ZIP archive and apply a password. That way no one without the password could access it.Is this intended to be malicious?
