if this is a Mac we are talking about then we are really talking 
permissions[1].
You want to read `man chmod` and `man chown`, set the owner and group 
to that of
the user that will launch your WO applications. If you are using 
monitor to launch
then set it to the same user ( looking at a Mac installation, the 
default is root,
this could probably be changed depending on the capabilities of your 
application. )

You will want to revoke access to this file to anyone ( or group ) but 
root.

this is overkill
