Yes, I wouldn't ordinarily leave /home wide open; I had loosened it
deliberately while beating on this (it's late, I was frustrated =).
I was mad enough to go nuts with chmod -R 777 willy-nilly,
too. =)
Believe me, I'm sure file perms aren't my problem. There's gotta be a
lock file somewhere that's doing this, and I can't find it. Nothing
unusual in /var/lock, either, btw.
It's driving me batty.
