I did not see a correct answer to your question so far, so here you are: - set the permissions to the users homedir to 0700 - run "chmod o+x" on the homedir this sets the permissions to "drwx-----x" which is exactly what you want: others can switch to this directory but _not_ read its contents - change the permissions to "public_html" to whatever you need for apache (0755 probably) done. cu, Uwe _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
