[cobalt-security] RaQ2: Default user access/site permissions

["Michelle A. Hoyle" <michelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there.

Is there any reason why I can't chmod all of the sites in my 
/home/sites directory not to be readable/executable by other?  I 
don't see any reason why a person who has telnet access to the 
machine should be allowed to traipse through other sites on the 
machine.

Also, if there's no reason why I can't, what file do I have to alter 
(no doubt voiding the warranty) to create sites with these 
permissions missing in the first place?

Thanks,

Michelle A. Hoyle
