That's not a good thing. /etc is a similar case. Depending on your installation, it's quite likely that there are things in /etc that *need* to be readable by a normal user. Have you got something specific that you want to hide from your users? Do you really distrust them that much? I have had accounts on numerous "public" systems, included, for example, shell servers run by ISPs. Not once have I ever seen one that restricted read access to /proc or /etc. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
