Are these shell users, or FTP users? If they're FTP, your best bet is to make them a common group, then add that group to /etc/ftpchroot. For example: # tail -2 /etc/passwd john:*:10266:101:John:/home/john:/sbin/nologin mary:*:10267:101:Mary:/home/mary:/sbin/nologin # grep 101 /etc/group plebes:*:101: # cat /etc/ftpchroot @plebes # If your goal is to restrict this information for *shell* users, you need to set permissions on directories. You might: # chgrp wheel /home # chmod 751 /home # chmod go-r /home/* to disallow users' ability to see what other users have directories and turn off group+other read permissions on those users' directories. If you want to restrict access to other directories, you can turn off read permissions in them as well, but beware that there are some things the system may want set up a certain way. If you're not familiar with unix permissions, I strongly advise that you not run a publically accessible shell server.
