No, don't do this. Don't mess with permissions of system directories. Better

I'd like to create a really restricted user on my laptop. I don't
want the user to be able to do much of anything but browse the web,
use skype, and maybe look at photos on a CD or something. I did this:
useradd -m -G users,audio,cdrom -s /sbin/nologin newuser
How does that look? I've noticed

/var you can use a command such as:
chmod o-x /var
basically that takes away execute privileges for other. Basically what
happens when you run the ls command it executes the directory. You can do
that for each directory
oh be really really really careful with this you can take away peoples
access to libraries and executables and generally bork your system so be
supper careful.
