I've a 'guest' user on my machine, i use this account for making people able to get some stuff via ftp. But now i'don't like they are able to see all my system stuff. Is there a way to make them unable to go out the guest-user home directory without chmod-ing all files??
 
i'd regulate access by creating a new group, e.g. 'guests' and putting your 'guest' account into that group. since it's a new group and nothing's 'chmod'-ed to give it any access, it shouldn't have any rights on your system files and such. you just have to chmod the directories and files it should have access too, which should be less a hassle.
