No, this is not possible. To be more elaborate, you COULD change the permissions of all other file systems to deny the user read access, but this would break the system, since for example everybody must have read access to certain files in /etc like /etc/passwd or /etc/profile. Denying read access on /tmp will make programs fail. Denying read access on /var will keep you from printing or reading your mail. Denying read access from /usr will make login fail. Why do you want to deny users read access? Maybe there is a way to achieve what you intend to do - please elaborate. By default AIX is set up in a way that prevents ordinary users from damaging the operating system. Yours, Laurenz Albe      |

Giving /usr/bin/Rsh (the restricted shell) as the users' login program would do that, wouldn't it. Maybe it's too restrictive for what the OP wants. -Bela |
