Hi all,

I was just wondering how one would go about restricting directory permissions on users so that they can only see their home folders and nothing else?

I tried going to the top level of folders and manually removing the permissions from others (read and execute) and that worked correctly... in fact overly so because the user couldn't even launch nautilus or browse the web as they didn't have the rights (even when I granted read and execute rights to /bin and /usr/bin and /sbin)

Can anyone tell me how to set up these restrictions?
