All that stuff, initially sounded good. But, it turns out to be the mirror image of what I was actually trying to do.
That is, to prevent a set of users from browsing all sorts of directories that are not their own. By using the .profile.local, I can put a 'umask 117' to eliminate any created file from being viewed by anyone not in the same group, or owner. But that would effect all users, including myself. That's not too good. So, I thought about putting the 'umask 117' in the .profile for certain users. Where others would not be able to see their files, these users can still browse around. But this may be getting me on the right track. What I'm really trying to do, is to prevent certain users from being able to 'cd' out of their home directory structure. PureFTPd has a parameter to disallow this, I'm now looking for the same thing for a Linux "Putty" user. So, is there any way to restrict a Linux user from being able to CD away from their home directory? That would really be great.
