That shouldn't happen. Unless your home dir is on FAT or FAT32 and you're using the wrong umask. For a start, can you try this: Login as user smmsp twice, once with admin privs, once without. Each time, run the following command: $ strace -o stat.trace stat <your home dir> And send the output of stat, as well as the two generated trace files here. This might give us a clue.
