I ended up just deleting those files, as I don't have users able to log in
locally anyways.  I'm sure there's a better way to do it though.

Set the permissions of each directory so that only the user can access it.

drwx------ 15 mdresser mdresser 4096 Feb 3 14:47 mdresser

Like so.

The command to do that is chmod, man chmod should get you started.  in
this case, chmod 700 is what I did.



I think this should work, anyways :)
