Thanks, that's work. But only the group permission is still r instead of rw. I read man chmod and play around but still got nowhere. Do I need to change the umask for the user instead? Also, if I do ls -la /home, I see the sausage directory listed as drwxrwsr-x 2 root sausage 4.0k Sep 25 12:10 sausage my question is, what's "s" in the group permission? Thanks -- Reuben D.
