'chmod 0751 /home/foo' etc. will change the permission on a home directory to be what it would have been if you'd taken the other choice. You can 'dpkg-reconfigure adduser' to change the permissions that will be applied to new home directories, but that doesn't do anything to existing ones. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
