Also remember that the umask for netatalk needs to be set. I don't know how to do this for the /home directories though... Making all home directories 777 really makes me nervous. It might work for a school like Liholiho, but otherwise it is a disaster waiting to happen. We really need to fix

Hi all, I want a student's teacher to have rw access to that student's /home. I change the student's /home to 6770. The teacher can see the student's /home and can rw. However, when the student saves an OO file to /home it gets saved as 600. Isn't it supposed to get saved as 770? As I'm new to

If you aren't using Samba then the default file permission are taken from umask (env variable) subtracted from 777. you can set umask in /etc/bashrc and it might be set somewhere on the system also (~/bashrc) look for umask=177 which would be the culprit (022 is default on redhat). adios

Ralph, if you just want to save your home directory when you install RH7.2, just don't format it when you're installing. I.e., use RH's disk druid when setting up the partitions, and make _very_ certain that you don't check the format/test for bad blocks selection for /home. Then, your /home
