Hi all;

I'd like to set up more restrictive permissions than default, but I"m 
not totally sure of the best way to go without risking locking 
something important out.

For users home directories, I don't have a problem with setting 700, 
but what's the best way for /etc and similar? 700 should be OK, right? 
root could do anything, processes that run as root could do what they 
need, regular users would be out.  Except for /tmp of course.

Do I risk breaking some things by doing that?  IF so, what can I get 
away with/ should I do instead?

Thanks,

Brian
