Java How to lock file system access
Hi Everybody..

I am using Moblin V2 which has nautilus file manager the one which is also used in Ubuntu.
I want to lock the access to file system such that i can only browse my home folder not other locations like /, /usr, /bin and all.

Or i want to create a partition of 10 or 15 GB so that i can only browse this partition not other folders of filesystem.

Thanks Guys.. waiting here for ur response..

Not aware of Moblin...

Generally if you dont have relevant permissions, then you will not able to navigate or edit. So take off the permissions.

watch for oh !@#$
You need to watch for an oh !@#$ moment if you remove people permission to look at say /bin they will not longer be able to use ls.

A permission scheme of say 751 is not too bad because it lets people still use programs that they know about but takes away their permission to actually see what is there. Potential problem comes from whereis no longer returning anything useful.
