If I do file:///home/user on the browser and then I can see the contents of that user's home directory ,even any user can see the root or any other user's directory.I want to avoid this ,how can i disable this on my computer. I am using FC3.
Unix/Linux is designed to be open in this way. Regular users are supposed to be able to read most directories and files.
If you want to stop users being able to access each other's home directories, just make the home directory permissions 750 or 770.
