Well, if the local hacker cannot connect to the dbms because
of no allowable user name and password then it would be difficult
to see anything. Indeed on a *nix system the entire directory could be
made invisible to persons not of the correct group. Try something
like:

chmod 660 directoryname.

The real problem is how to allow some access without exposing
everything. And the solution to THAT is to disallow isql
access as stated before.
