Question restrict access of a user to two directories only
Hi all,

I am using RHEL 5.0

I need a user say test to have full access to two directories, say /tmp1 & /tmp2 only other than his home directory.

I do not want to change his login shell which is ksh or bash by default.
Moreover, he should not even have read access of other directories.

Pls help!!

Thanks in adv,
VIKAS
