I notice from the directory listing that some of the dirs belong to
"Users" yet the home directory belongs to "Domain Users". Looks like you
were logged in as a local user when you installed, but you were logged in as
a domain user when you ran mkpasswd/mkgroup for the first time and the
/etc/skel scripts created the home dirs.
Do domain users have write access rights to your local HD? Did you run
both mkpasswd and mkgroup using *both* the '-l' *and* the '-d' options to
get full listings? What does 'getfacl /tmp' tell you? What does 'cd / ;
cacls tmp' show?
cheers,
