The most secure system is the one that is offline, not connected to a power cable, and locked in a room that you have thrown away the key into a deep ocean gorge. "Real" systems need to provide a certain level of functionality though, and that's where compromises need to be made, in a careful, well thought out manner. If the users don't have any permission on any file on your system, you might as well delete their accounts. It won't make any difference. > Is this good paranoia? have you had any problems, > have you tried this? You really should provide more details. Have we tried what?
