For instance, you may not want users going in to /sbin. So, chown /sbin to root and chgrp it to wheel, and then remove the last "x" permission bit. That way, people who are not root and who are not in wheel will not be able to see the contents of /sbin. You seem to want to make most important directories on the system (including users home directories) not other-executable. > > thanks > Morris Allen > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > -Spike Gronim sporkl@ix.netcom.com The majority only rules those who let them. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBNrS5a531G6IEwnwxAQGm4gP/RcwEYN/2V9fOfL7oQ7vWNO8lMptXsy0i fbuG/CQr8s811Vs0Eh/E2amed4Sd76ydr4XTspCCeUhGm9kEUoixV5Y6m2QUgKpe gdrN2NjHqkycZwoP6eOe0N+Xmc8K0caB1rW55UpY0SvBsgduBx96T0S41orHN3kh A+CpT1UMq1s= =+Xnb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
