        By default, every user has r/w rights only in his home directory
(i.e. /home/user). He has r/o rights on other dirs. Still, if you don't
want to see them even, you can change the modes ( chmod ), and the owner
of the dir. You can set that root will be the owner of all the dirs,
excepting /home. IMO it's the best solution. For further info, read the
docs that came with your distro.

Best Regards,
Freddie
