| Preventing unauthorized data sharing I am using a workstation. There are three users that share that PC, each having its login and password. I want to know how to stop user reading the home directory of another user. Thanks |

Hi friends, You can prevent this by making each of their directories read ,write,ececutable only by their user. Code do this is: chmod 707 <home dir> Using this only root and owner of the home directory read,write,execute. |

Hi Guys, You can also do that by setting each user's directory permissions to 700 so that only the user can access it. Code: mv /home/user1 /home/.user1 mkdir /home/user1 chown root:user1 /home/user1 chmod 750 /home/user1 mv /home/.user1 /home/user1/user1 Then edit the passwd file and make user1's home directory /home/user1/user1. The user can now do whatever he likes to his home. No one else will even be able to see it. |
