What I am trying to do:
I am managing a class server and I want to allow all of the users to save their work to their home directories. I do not want users to be able to view other users home directories except for sudo users.



I believe this can be accomplished by doing the following



chmod -R 700 user1/


Is this the correct way to accomplish this?




permissions

Use sudo chmod 750 /home/$USER so the files inside don't pick up those permission but stops non-owners from accessing home folders

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
