You only need chown, chmod and ls. # chown -R anthony:anthony /home/anthony # chmod 755 /home/anthony After that, 'ls -ld /home/anthony' should look like this (except for the date shown): drwxr-xr-x 66 anthony anthony 8.0K 2006-10-30 11:22 /home/anthony/ If you do not understand what the commands above do, I propose you read something like this: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tutorial.en.html#s-file-perm The Debian Reference Manual is also available via apt (package name: debian-reference).
