You can chmod 711 everyones home dir rendering it impossible for anyone to read the contents of the user's dir. You need to do the same to /usr/share/skel to properly set those permissions for all new users. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Meyer" <mwm@mired.org> To: "Dead Line" <dead_line@hotmail.com> Cc: <questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 6:15 PM Subject: Re: chmod for a group users. > Dead Line <dead_line@hotmail.com> types: > > Peace, > > > > I would like to thank all of you first, for the help and the support > > you give. > > > > Im on FreeBSD 4.2-Release. > > and i have many groups created > > what im tired from is this.. > > > > I tried to restrict the users of the group to only wrx thier /home/base > > only (thier files only), and never can read (cat) any other file, > > whatever its in thier group or no. and they cannot log into others > > users dirctries. > > > > I Couldnot. > > Doesn't surprise me - the Unix permissions system isn't designed to > make cooperation easy, so it doesn't handle negative permissions > well.
