I'd like to create a really restricted user on my laptop.  I don't
want the user to be able to do much of anything but browse the web,
use skype, and maybe look at photos on a CD or something.  I did this:

useradd -m -G users,audio,cdrom -s /sbin/nologin newuser

How does that look?  I've noticed when adding this kind of a user in
the past they are able to look at files all around the system that I'd
prefer they can't.  Is there a good method for restricting that?
Maybe remove the users group?  Is a weak password OK with this setup
since there's no shell access?
