[X-Unix] Stupid Mac OS X question (?)

[Alexandre Gauthier]

Off hand, I believe it should be okay, unless you have a public_html (or any
web shared folders). However, please keep in mind that I am very tired, and
my opinion would probably be different when starting the day fresh. So, I
might be wrong, in fact I probably am, so if anyone could correct me or
confirm, I would appreciate.

SOME scripts are kept in your home folder, but they are usually executed by
the system. I am not sure of what would happen.

Or maybe just a stupid idea. Is there anything wrong with doing this:

    sudo chmod -R go-rwx ~/*

I.e. I want to block out access of others to everything in my home 
folder, but will doing this break anything in the system? Are there 
files that must be readable by group and/or other?
