    If I was able to browse the directories on one PC then I would have
    thought some problem on that particular PC,but same thing was
    happening on another FC3 .

    This is what I did on the browser.

    file:///root
    file:///home/myhomedirectory which is me
    file:///home/user another user directory

    I tried first with root to browse the directories I was able to see
    all the users directories,and then I tried the same thing with about
    5 users even normal users where able to see the directories of the
    root user and even can see the contents of the file If I click on any
    file.

    When I change the permissions in /home/* to 770 then it stopped
    showing the directories through the browser.

    One of the PC is fully updated with the latest patches and other one
    is newly installed.I will again install FC3 in few days time then I
    will check all the settings and let you know.

    Thanks & Regards
