Hi, One thing we probably want on the desktop live cd, compared to mainline Fedora, is making sure that the user's home directory are world-executable, e.g. like this $ ls -l /home/ drwx--x--x 21 bateman bateman 4096 2007-08-12 19:01 bateman drwx--x--x 22 bundy bundy 4096 2007-07-28 19:01 bundy drwx--x--x 21 charles charles 4096 2007-07-28 18:24 charles drwx--x--x 42 davidz davidz 4096 2007-08-13 10:39 davidz With this, the ~/.face files should be readable by other users meaning that the fast-user-switch applet in a given session can read ~/.face from other users (this is because the "About Me" capplet specifically uses the rw-r--r-- permissions when creating that file). Which means you'll get a nice list with the appropriate icons http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/f-u-s-all-faces.png Changing the mode on newly created home directories can, I believe, be achieved by rewriting /etc/login.defs such that UMASK is set to 066 instead of 077 (I haven't tested this though). Probably worth adding some sed invocation in the %post of the live cd kickstart file. Jeremy, Colin? Btw, in the same vein, we probably want ~/Public to be created with mode rwxr-xr-x as well; I believe that requires a patch to xdg-user-dirs such that the mode can be specified in /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults. Longer term we should probably make ~/Public of other users visible somewhere and integrate it into the file manager or whatever. Alex?
