Maybe, but tricky. Look at chroot for serious solutions. But also take the other side: what do you have to hide? You can hide the users from each other (just make their perms 700 on their top level dirs - if they change it it's their lookout), but if you hide too much of the system stuff things start breaking. Try to minimise the number of secrets you want to keep. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ I read books on Zen meditation.
