Hi all,

I am setting up web access for my users and want to make sure I have the
file permissions correct.

Let's say for user imauser I set up the following:

home directory: /home/imauser
permissions: drwx-----x

web directory: /home/imauser/public_html
permissions: drwxr-xr-x

web files: e.g. /home/imauser/public_html/index.html
permissions: -rwxr--r--

Is this secure to allow access to the web directory and nothing else of the
user's home directory?

Regards,
