> Is it possible to set the /etc directory not allow the user to read > it? chmod 711 I don't think this will break the world, at least not in an obvious way, since I can't think of any non-root process that scans /etc. Of course, this buys you almost no security; about all it prevents from a user's perspective is "ls /etc", AFAIK.
