I just tested a fresh install from F17 desktop live; the /home/user directory created after firstboot is 700. /home/user created by s-c-u is 700. /home/user created by useradd is 700. /home/user created by GNOME account tool is 700. So I can't recreate a 755 user dir in any way. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
