It seems to me at least that the rationale for the permissive home directories is somewhat more oriented at the home user, so I would be inclined to say leave everything as-is for the desktop install, but I think it may be appropriate for the server installer to have a debconf question for this. That would certainly be a wholly acceptable solution to me personally at least. -- Tony Yarusso http://tonyyarusso.com/ -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
