if you want to make it so that a user can not look at a directory such as |
| 2 |
/var you can use a command such as: |
| 3 |
chmod o-x /var |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
basically that takes away execute privileges for other. Basically what |
| 6 |
happens when you run the ls command it executes the directory. You can do |
| 7 |
that for each directory that you do not want anyone but the owner or root to |
| 8 |
be able to look at. |
| 9 |
Read the man page of chmod for a better explanation. |
