The basic requirement is to changwe the read/write/execute permissions below the home directory. You'll have to let all users execute programs in directories included in their local path, but you can reset r/w permissions so that only the owner (and root, of course) can access each directory on the drive. Check the man page on chmod. Hope this helps, Ken
