Setting permissions and restricting access
Hi all,

I have user called "Z". The home directory is /home/Z. I have another directory /home/Z/OP. Within /home/Z/OP, i have 2 directories
/home/Z/OP/OP1 and /home/Z/OP2.

I want to restrict access for Z to only access
/home/Z/OP and
/home/Z/OP1 and
/home/Z/OP2.

What kind of permission should i set for the various directories? I also want user Z to be in the /home/Z/OP directory the moment he logs in, and he cannot go /home/OP. This sound a little weird, purpose being Z is only a normal user, and I do not even want to let him see the hidden files in his home directory.

1.I reckon I can include a 'cd /home/Z/OP' command in the .bash_profile script to direct him to the /home/Z/OP directory. Is this correct?
2.But how can I restrict access to only the 3 directories above ?
