Ahh sorry :) .. to prevent localusers from looking at others user's dirs simply chmod o-r /home/user drwxr-x--x 40 adren adren 3072 Jul 24 20:51 adren This way if a user cd's to anothers home dir and type "ls" they get this ls: .: Permission denied If your users are all in the same "group" remember that you will have to chmod go-r /home/user drwx--x--x 40 adren staff 3072 Jul 24 20:51 adren I have my public_html perms set the same with chmod go-r public_html. It doesn't matter really as long as it's +x by all. drwx--x--x 27 adren adren 2048 Jul 9 23:02 public_html Apply these to your user dirs and things will work the way you wish :) -Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
