(Environment: AIX AFS servers, Solaris and Linux Clients.)

Several of our users have expressed interest in having their home
directories point to their AFS areas.  What we are afraid of is the fact
that they would be world-readable and that sensitive files would
be visible and dangerous.

There are really two parts to this question:

1.  If a user's home directory is /afs/xxx/users/name, can
we create /afs/xxx/users/name/dir0 with more limited
access than /afs/xxx/users/name?

If so, can we create
/afs/xxx/users/name/dir0/dir1 with more open access than
/afs/xxx/users/name/dir0?   The volume mount point would be
/afs/xxx/users/name.

2. Is there a better way to do this?

Thank you.
