This is what I did on the browser. file:///root file:///home/myhomedirectory which is me file:///home/user another user directory I tried first with root to browse the directories I was able to see all the users directories,and then I tried the same thing with about 5 users even normal users where able to see the directories of the root user and even can see the contents of the file If I click on any file. When I change the permissions in /home/* to 770 then it stopped showing the directories through the browser. One of the PC is fully updated with the latest patches and other one is newly installed.I will again install FC3 in few days time then I will check all the settings and let you know.
