Is it possible to implement > in FreeBSD or Linux? You'll need to create a group that will contain all the users that should not have access to restricted directories. Then you'll need to change the group id for that directories to the group you've created. After you'll revoke all the permissions from the group - that group will have no access. Like such: # chgrp restricted dir1 dir2 dir3 # chmod g-rwx dir1 dir2 dir3 After this is done the users that belong to the "restricted" group will have no access to dir1, dir2 etc... Regards, Alex.
