Hello,
A while back I created a user by the normal procedure of adding it to
the FS and running auth/changeuser, then logging in as the user and
running /sys/lib/newuser.  However, it turns out that all the files
created for the user had awkward permissions on them -- specifically,
the group and user attributes of every file for the user were not
precisely of that users.  Here's an example of the user's cron DIR:

d-rwxr-xr-x M 2225 (user) (user) 0 Oct 28 13:15 /cron/user 
(notice theparentheses) 

the same is with the case of the user's home DIR (and files within) as
well as mail box DIR, etc., etc..  The result of this is that the user
itself can't access any such files or DIRs!  It has access to none of
its own stuff.  I'm not sure where I (hostowner) could have gone wrong
with this, perhaps some part of changeuser or adding the user to the
FS? Anyways, currently, I've disabled the user account and would like
to remove the user's cron, mail box, etc.  files and DIRs from fossil,
for purposes of organisation, but I'm (i.e., hostowner) unable to do
any of that either, due to permissions.  So, perhaps someone could
lead me to the right direction in either restoring the user account or
being able to remove all these "garbage-owner/group" files (from
fossil)?

Regards
