Hi !

MY TASK

From long time I need to improve security on my home linux-M$win box used as

email, http , IRC , ftp , etc client (dialup connection with no services
installed);

the basic idea is

1. to make different users for different activities with useradd

2. to edit carefully /etc/fstab , maybe making careful and intensive use of the
'owner' , 'uid=' 'gid=' and 'umask=' options

MY PROBLEM

now the

man fstab

doc is somehow confusing, also because it seems to require a quite good
understanding of the pretty complicate

man mount

documentation

MY QUESTIONS

Q1: is there a tutorial doc discussing 1. and 2. above ?

Q2: some similar tutorial for the security of my (client, not servicing)
linux-M$win machine permanently hacker-vulnerable in the LAN of the
office where I work ?

Thanks for your time
