Prevent access to root folder
 

How do I stop users from entering the root home folder?

I would sooner not have standard users not poking around in there.

by default no standard user is allowed to enter the root folder.

I created a standard user and managed to browse and read a script in the root's folder?

Im using arch linux.

I just tested this on a hosted shell which is running FreeBSD and I too as a standard user can view the contents of the root folder.

By root folder do you mean /root or /?

/root

<Guff to fill maximum 10 character limit>

This should do it:
chmod 700 /root

Yep works great. Thanks.
