Hi,
I don't think that there is a "standard" directory mask.
Decide what you want. who should have access to the
files in the home directories? everyon to all? 777
you? 700 you and all in the group? 770 and so on..

it, it happens that I cannot retrieve control over it and I'm forced to use
the reset button. Nothing strange as I'm very good at trashing it.

> After reboot, mandrake starts a security-script checking permissions and
ports. As I'm just a newbie, I just let it happen. But sometimes it finds
that files and directorys are 'world-writeable', and it changes permissions
back to 'root'. Very secure,

usual. Now; permissions for /home and /home/user1, /home/user2 etc are
incorrect as the users cannot change to /home.

> Can anybody give me the 'standard' permissions of /home, /home/user1,
/home/user2 etc? Why are the permissions changed that a user cannot change
to /home but he can change to / or to his own directory, as long as he
remembers the whole path?

back...
