Code: Select all
/home/hockeyhome is owned by root and the group root as well
I removed the X permissions on 'home' except for root and when I logged back in to 'hockey' I couldn't get anywhere inside ny home directory. I thought that by setting/removing X (except for root) on 'home' would simply prevent me from travelling outside of 'hockey' but instead I can't view the files in my own directory. LOL
How do I set the permissions so that once I login and see my 'hockey' files I cannot travel back outside of my directory, only forward such as into directories I create, etc???
EDIT | Looking at the directories in my default Debian distro...I'm actually sort of surprised that as 'hockey' I am capable of browsing the directory listings, albeit not capable of opening most files (as they are root). Would it not make sense to make those files only browsable by 'root' as an extra layer of security?
