directory listing

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on June 22, 2006 02:13 PM
one of the major things that scares me about ubuntu/kubuntu is that any user can list the directory contents of any other user. bad. BAD!!!

Libranet fixed this issue so long ago that I had forgotten about it. downloading kubuntu and adding a guest account reminded me of this simple security issue.

Fix this bug. I have stuff in my home directory that I do not want to share with other users.

Thanks.

Wishing you well.
