Hello!

I want users in a certain group to be restricted to their home directory. So that they have full access to all files and folders in their home directory but the cant go to any directory above.

Does anyone know how to do this?

XCAL_CAL(1)						      General Commands Manual						       XCAL_CAL(1)

NAME
xcal_cal - interface to calendar(1) for xcal SYNOPSIS
xcal_cal [ -d directory ] [ -f file ] [ -m ] [ -# ] DESCRIPTION
Xcal_cal reads through the files created by xcal(1) and creates a file suitable for use by calendar(1). By default, the files are found in a directory named ``Calendar'' in the user's home directory; an alternate directory may be specified with the -d flag. Output goes by default into a file named ``.xcal'' in the user's home directory; it may be overridden with the -f flag. In both cases, if the argument given begins with a slash (`/'), then it will be taken as a full path name, not as a path relative to the user's home direc- tory. If the argument begins with the two character sequence `./' then it will be taken relative to the current directory. This last form is primarily intended for use while debugging. The -m flag directs that multi-line entries in xcal files be collected in their entirety. By default, only the first line is copied. SEE ALSO
