Fabio, thank you. I am familiar with the behaviour of Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, though I must admit that I am unfamiliar with the behaviour of Windows and therefore the comparison to Windows XP is lost on me.
Fabio, it is not expected that the user will have any access to /home /other-user, which is where other users keep their files which should not be seen by other users. It is expected and standard practice that the user has read access to the rest of the file system (exceptions to /root and sbin, of course). Please stop sweeping this issue under the rug as if it is security related, it is not. It is a bug, an oversight, and it deviates from standard practice. In fact, on some installs the user _can_ access the partitions in question (they appear in fstab) yet on some installs this is not the case. The fact that this is an intermittent issue further bolsters the case that having access is intended behaviour. -- chown all local drives to current user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
