Brian,
I should mention this happens with all of the users. I've even created
some "fresh" accounts, using RHEL3's defaults, and the same problems
occur.
Here are the permissions under one of the test accounts:
drwx------ 5 guest guest 4096 Aug 26 16:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 25 14:13 ..
-rw------- 1 guest guest 60 Aug 26 14:32 .bash_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 24 Sep 18 2003 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 191 Sep 18 2003 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 124 Sep 18 2003 .bashrc
drwx------ 3 guest guest 4096 Aug 25 18:00 .gconfd
drwxr-xr-x 2 guest guest 4096 Aug 25 18:00 .gnome2
-rw-r--r-- 1 guest guest 120 Aug 20 2003 .gtkrc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 guest guest 11 Aug 26 14:31 guest_test.txt
drwxr-xr-x 3 guest guest 4096 Aug 24 14:01 .kde
-rw------- 1 guest guest 607 Aug 26 14:31 .viminfo
-rw------- 1 guest guest 0 Aug 26 16:20 .Xauthority
-rw------- 1 guest guest 0 Aug 26 16:20 .xsession-errors
