What I really want to do is make every directory non-browse-able to the user anonymous. I want anonymous to only be able to browse its home directory. So I guess I would like to also change all subdirectories and the files within them as well.
Something like: chgrp -R anonymous /etc/ Now the only problem I have is I don't know what's going on with a command like this. What would this (or whatever would be correct) do? Again, thanks for your time.

Do you mean to change the group of all files / subdirectories of the directory? If so, you can use 'chgrp -R newgroup directoryname'. Do you want to change only the ownership of the directory itself? Use 'chgrp newgroup directoryname'.
