Modify access rights on own files/home directory

1. General

Every student has a folder accessible via /u/halle/$USER. 

 $USER is the CIT-Login received from the Infopoint and used to log in to the computer hall. 

In this folder, you can find different architectures, such as HomeAT, for the Ubuntu VMs used by LxHalle.

To facilitate student collaboration, most of those folders can be accessed by other students.

Important folders like the home_mail and homesec are only visible and writable by the active user.

These notes are explicitly valid only for the lxhalle.


2. Restrict access to own folders (Homepage will not be accessible)

More information about your own website: https://wiki.ito.cit.tum.de/bin/view/Informatik/Helpdesk/EigeneHomepage# 

Start the terminal in the lxhalle

chmod go-rwx `dirname $HOME

After using the following command

ls -ld `dirname $HOME`

The access rights should look like this:

drwx------ 10      tumuser   10 2011-07-05 16:46

3. Restrict access to all own folders except home_at

In order to make the homepage accessible, the folders /u/halle/$USER and /u/halle/$USER/home_page need the Execute-permission cancel for other (o).
This can be achieved as follows: 

Start the terminal in the lxhalle
