chmod 700 my user?

[MuGeN]

would this be a bad move? i have people sshing into another user on the system and just think it'd be a good move to only allow access for me...

is i do chmod 700 /Users/myusername will this spanner anything up?

What are the current permissions?
What are you worried about?

currently 755 on the actual user's folder... not so much worried as just think it will be better to lock off my user stuff from anyone sshing into the machine thats all

Its unlikely to break anything, and easily reversed
Only things 700 is likely to break is daemons that need to read config files in your home that that arent running as root, ie, oidentd attempting to read ~/.oidentd.conf
Alternatively you can set it 711.

711 might be a good bet. This allows people to access files that they already know are there, but they can't get a directory listing and can't write anything.

I'd favour 711 over 700.
