i want to create a 'guest' account on my second box so that friends who visit can log on and benefit from my cable connection, because i am behind a firewall -snf7.2- i installed both my workstations as -security = low- i don't know how wise that was, therefore i suspect that the permissions on a user account created using 'adduser' will probably be the same as my user permissions and not what i should have in a 'guest' account, not that i distrust my friends, the opposite in fact, my friends would understand perfectly the need to have good security despite the persons involved. my question is (finally you cry!), what permissions should i pay attention to? there are a lot of users and groups on a typical machine, most of which aren't 'people' and the interelationship between then is confusing to me, i want to enable web access, im chat and downloading files so that my friends can put stuff they want onto a cd, am i worrying about nothing, is the fact that someone a 'user' and not root automatically protection enough? bascule
