some habits die hard... Funny thing was, I kept trying to use less to
read it. It was my second notion...honest.

not only did it work, setting privileges back on /tmp fixed a number of
issues that were making me crazy...all little things.

I have been searching my mind as to how I could have changed ownership
of /tmp like that and I know that there is no way that I did it from the
command line. I did do a lot of fooling around with fedora directory
server which 'might' have done that, some fooling around with webmin
'LDAP Users and Groups' which probably did that but at no time did I
ever set 'craig' to use /tmp as the home directory which is the type of
thing that would cause Webmin to set the permissions thusly. I note that
none of the other subdirectories in / were changed which tells me webmin
was the culprit because I did some mucking with webmin and re-asserting
LDAP objectclasses and attributes with Webmin which also will change the
users home directory permissions when instructed...I'm gonna have to
watch for repeat behavior on this.

Thanks again

Craig
