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.
How are these students connecting to the machine? Will this be a
server and they connect from other machines? I think the default
permissions would prevent normal users from seeing each others home
directories. As a test, create to test users and place data in them.

Log in to either and see if you can view or modify the information in
the other's folders.
