what are the default permissions for the /var/www/html folder:
I have this problem, If I want to put a directory in there for example I want to establish phpmyadmin and put the folder in there...I don't want people to read the config files as well...which might contain the passwords. I noticed this when I created a normal user and it seems this user can browse the /var/www/html with ease...only that he cant write, but the damage is done...if he reads the config files which house the passwords...thats not too much security huh??

Set the file permissions to 770 or 750. You can do this for just the password file. Alternatively (and a good idea anyway), deny access to that directory to everyone except a select group of users (yourself and whatever apache runs under).
