I suggest that instead of making /home/* readable to all, you create a directory somewhere lese for shared data. Maybe /home/shared (maybe with a further subdirectory for each user) and give that the same permissions as /tmp. Everyone can put stuff in there, everyone can read stuff there, nobody 'cepting root can change stuff someone else put there. > I'm looking for a script that would allow me to copy a file (or bunch of files) to > all of the user's home directories - it would be handy for upgrading .wine > configuration files and also openoffice .sversionrc files (probably other files on > occasion too). Anyone have a link to one? Put it in /home/shared and tell everyone it's there. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
