Re: Large number of users, but want to keep secret

Hi,

I have fairly large number of students (> 50) in a class. I would like to
give them an account on a machine (Ubuntu 7.10, AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 1.5 GB
Memory). But, I want that the students cannot read each other's files in
order to prevent from copying someone else's programming assignment by
reading it.

What would be a good way to do this?
Set the permissions to each student's home directory appropriately. See
this page under the "File Permissions" heading:
https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/user-guide/C/gosnautilus-8.html

Or "man chmod" from the commandline. Another somewhat related command
is "chown". For more information on that one, "man chown" from the
commandline. This page may also come in handy:
