-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After I originally found that all users could see other user's home contents, I tried first changing to security level 3. Someone else mentioned I could set the home permission to 700.
Both methods have screwed up my system and I can't seem to get it back even though I switched to security level 2. My system is OK at the moment but there will come a time (how long it takes is unknown as yet) when all of a sudden, I cannot open konsoles, xterms, or start any app for that matter. The perms on my home directory will change that will 1) prevent KDE from working because it can't get write permissions to my home, and 2) kmail wont be able to download/store email because it wont have write permission to my ~/Mail directories. I have had to twice login as root and chown praedor.praedor /home/praedor and set my home perm to 711, then 755. I restarted DrakConf and then went to Drakperms and set the security level to 2 and made sure that /home/* was no longer editable and no longer 700 but nevertheless I get this repetitious problem. What security level will allow users to actually USE their home directories, window managers, etc, without problems but also prevent other users from looking at the contents of their HOME dirs? praedor - -- The First Amendment rests on the assumption that the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to the welfare of the public. - --Justice Hugo Black GnuPG fingerprint: D170 2A02 B426 6AA0 5E68 3EDC 68AA FDB0 961E 4F18 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/A1i9aKr9sJYeTxgRAlxXAKCvVyZmYOc9nBhr1SXpocDs2Vjw6ACfbi3Z pYuCFH38R64wgWeadS6WDEk= =WuYu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
