[cobalt-security] about cd .. command can change home directory up to root server



I am a user at a host, i can telnet to my account ... and can use cd .. [enter] to change directory up and up to other home directory and can chage to root server or /etc/passwd ... can use cat command to view passwd file.. or to see other php or perl script..
to test...

telnet yourhost.com
enter username
enter password
type cd .. and press enter ..... do this again and again and type ls and enter ... Wow amazing....

How can i protect myself or do not let other to see my php or perl script..
What root should do to solve this..
