I am using FC3. But it is a secruity breach.I can't read the files normally as the chmod is 770 on users /home/user but through browser I can read the files. I did change the settings on home chmod -R 700 /home/* Now users can't view the other user's home directory through browser. > Unix/Linux is designed to be open in this way.

If i change home directory permission to 750 and 770 then normal users can't login it. The way to make them login is to create one group which will have rights on home directory and make all the users member of that group. Thanks for your advice. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover
