Good thing I ensured that I started a root shell in another window to fix the damage *before* I tried this ill-advised experiment. As for the other poster's question: in general, users need to see other directories, like /bin and /etc. There are some convoluted ways to do what you want, but you have to decide for yourself whether tiny gain in security is worth the significant effort and deep understanding needed to do it. -- Dave Carrigan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | Yow! ..
