Well, there are probably a fair number of different ways, depending on what else you want them to be able to do or not do, but the simplest and most direct would be to change the permissions on the folders. Here's some articles that appear to have good general info on Unix permissions: http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html The short form of what you are asking is that only the owner of each of those home folders should have read or write permissions.
