what would they do on ssh if they can't see other directories? It's possible but *might* not be what you think it is. You'd need a chroot jail, and there are plenty of ssh chroot guides around if you have a search.

Best way to denied user to access root directory by enabling chmod 770. So that user cannot able to access root home directory

7 -root
7 -group
0 -users

If i understand is wright .these could solve ur problem

I'd be inclined to think they mean /, not /root. /root should never be accessible by default in the first place.
