Is the guest read-only access? Is /home/public also available without physical access? (eg. Internet) In any case assume consultant rips copy of /home/public/* and took it away on their laptop -- how does that make you feel? Let that guide you how strong the security should be. "giving that ... as-needed" is security by obscurity? If it is read-write access then you might need to consider what to do with what they've written, each guest sandboxed with a copy of /home/public? So many variables to your query :) Grant. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
