Lets say this scenario :
You have a linux machine and you want to compile and host a zero server .
Facts:
1 :You only have root password of the linux server (that is not secure and safe to use and login via ssh etc. )
2 :You are using the command to add a new user "demouser"
sudo useradd -d /home/demouser -s /bin/bash -m demouser
3 : You give the new user a password , sudo privileges and disable the root account .
4 : You are compiling under /home/demouser/
5 : Your built server files - bin and etc are under /home/demouser/mangosserver eg. :/home/demouser/mangosserver/bin and /home/demouser/mangosserver/etc
And now the question :
A : Is it safe to host the server from the home directory ?
B : Do i have to change some permissions ?
