dave,

you need 

chmod 711 /home/*

this will let anyone use the directory in a path to a file or directory that
exists but won't let them do a ls for example.

regards,
siegfried.

Yes, but see, users homepages are not working now.
becuase of all the chmoding. chmod 700 /home/*
is what someone else suggested, but this is what caused 
homepages to not work.

result = 
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~north/can-on.pdf on this server.


/home/someuser/public_html/*

I tried chmod 755 /home/*/public_html/*
but that did not work either.

help... :o(
