This will prevent non-root users from reading *any* file on the system. If user 'shams' wants to list his home directory /home/shams, he has to have permissions to list / and /home as well. > Or are there any better solutions ?

But I don't see a point in doing that. J. -- Driving behind lorries carrying hazardous chemicals makes me wish for a simpler life.
