I want to know if there is a way to limit execution of certain programs to
only the home directory of the user.

I want to do this, let a group of people to put information (files) in a
shared directory, they can write, read in it, but I don't want them to
delete the files already in this directory.

I'm thinking of limit the rm command to only the users directory, or if you
have a better way, I apreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Alberto
