I have not done this yet, but it is on my list of stuff to do. I am planning on either grabbing one of the menuing (ftp:ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming) or writing something in perl to do that. I know that really isn't a great answer, but maybe it will give you something to look into. > Is there any way of making the only directory a user can see is his or > her home directory? You can play with the permissions but getting too crazy could be a little dangerous. If you stick with the default usage of adduser by using different groups for each user you would have more control over that, if you are worried about someone else looking into another users home directory. Someone else will probably have better information for you. --- Duane ____________________________________________________________________________ Duane Ellison duane@gargamel.ptw.com Edwards, California http://gargamel.ptw.com/~duane
