I created a new user and a new group, added myself to the group and set the 
appropiate permissions, but now it comes to my mind that I can't cd into my 
home directory from the new account. This could be solved by changing my 
login group, but I can't do that. I would have to change too many things in 
my system.

Well, it can't be wrong to give IPFW a new option. I'll implement it in ASM. 
:-) No, ASM would be too extreme.
