Hello everybody, this thread dates back almost half a year, but I have finally found some time to work on MToolsFM. Available at the MToolsFM website is MToolsFM-1.9-4-pre1:
http://www.core-coutainville.org/MToolsFM/archive/SOURCES/MToolsFM-1.9-4-pre1.tar.gz It adds a new command line option "--rhomedir" which will cd to the user's homedir upon startup and will restrict navigation to subdirectries of the home directory. I found this a little bit better than disabling the ".." thing altogether... Please tell me what you think about it.
