Hello, So today we just realized that everyone on our server can navigate into everyone else's /home directory and open all their files!
Looking online it appears this is ubuntu's default permission setting. This is rather strange and a disaster for us as teachers have private student marks, comments, tests etc the student can access now! So my first question - is there a script or simple command to change all the permissions so everyone can only access their own files? Second - how to permanently fix this so new accounts don't inherent this weird permission structure! Thank you kindly! Joseph P.S. This is a really strange default setup - I've been getting irate emails from staff and admin wondering what kind of system (ie: Linux) would allow students to access teacher folders etc. Hopefully the fix is simple and fast so I can pass it off as something minor.
