hi

I need help in securing my debian server: i want group "users" not to have
access (via shell) to system directories (like /etc). How to do it and not
to have the system crashed :).
thanks

The short answer is that it can't be done.

The longer answer is that it can be done, poorly and with some
breakage, by an experienced system administrator for a limited variety
of users.

Sorry
