Accessing a user's home folder.

Accessing a user's home folder.

Post by Evan Panagiotopoulo » Mon, 18 Dec 2000 10:18:17



Hello,
At school we are setting-up an intranet server where each user will have the
option to have a home page. In the school's main page a listing of name will
exist. I need to have each link point to the users home directory e.g.
~evan/web/. I changed the </Directory /home/httpd/htmt> parameter but that
didn't work at all.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

If you are using apache, check the documentation on the Userdir directive.

1. access to other user's folders

I'm new to security, we are running FreeBSD and have a problem with users
from several years ago having permissions to all folders and files on our
webserver. New users (since new admin) don't have the access. I can log on
as a user with his password and ftp to many users' folders I shouldn't be
able to have access too. The problem is there are many users who can do
this. How do I find out who the users are and change their permissions? we
have about 1000 users with their own websites on our server. It seems to me
there should be a grep command I am unaware of to find out all the users'
permissions. Then how do I change the permissions when I find out which
users have too many permissions?
Thanks,
