Problem: everyone can see /home/x
If the permissions on the directories are set up correctly, this shouldn't be the case. Ex.: drwx-----x /home/x (chmod 701) drwx---r-x /home/x/a (chmod 705) ...will allow access to /home/x/a without allowing access to /home/x for all users. So, for some other user, 'ls /home/x' will result in "Permission denied", but 'ls /home/x/a' works; the user just has to know that /home/x/a exists. This is generally how it's done, I think. At my university, everyone in certain CS classes has an account, and has to have a web visible directory (like a in your example) without giving everyone access to their projects. I don't really know much about the other stuff you posted; I'd suggest trying the permissions first. HTH, Mike McGuire
