the file in question is the .dmrc this is not in /etc/skel and I do not create it. but for some reason it and the home directory are created with root ownership. I tried putting it what was suggested into an fsscript. however that didn't work. would the only way to solve this problem would to be to create them in the overlay? or with the script before hand so that they are user writeable?
