Yes, it happens when users don't log out properly, or don't log out at all. For instance, if a user is logged in on a text console, and a second user logs in to X, the second user does not get ownership of the files. Also, if a user logs in to X, and then uses a three finger salute (CTRL+ALT+Backspace) to log off, he'll maintain ownership of the files. It's not pretty. The pam_console system relies on users to behave themselves, and co-operate. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
