Hello John, If you are providing only FTP services for those users, perhaps you want to go for an FTP server that handles virtual users. I'm using pure-ftpd and it works great. Google will help you find some nice howto's for same.

Each user has their own home directory. Currently all home =20 directories have read permission set for 'other'.

What is the best way to do this? =20 Turn off the read bit for 'other'? Or is there some better way?
