I'am the the root user to applying the chmod... The system works fine, but I don't like to leave the security access of each file in the disk with R-X to other users..
When some user login without privileges he could do something like this: Cat /etc/hosts And it works find !!!! I don't think this is good to my security. All files come like this -rw-r--r-- and I would like to change it to something like this -rw-r----- Thanks Gordon to answer me again and help me with this big doubt!! Or everyone else who know about this!

What, the system directories? ...because the shell has to be able to read the directories in order to search the PATH, and the user has to be able to "x" a directory in order to read or execute files inside of it. > Is it right applying this? > > cd / > chmod o-r -R * Absolutely, positively, no. Only the root user would be able to do anything. Most of your daemons wouldn't even work any more. > Does anyone know why should I leave my filesystem like this?
