Why doesn't Yast (1) create the home directory for the new user I have created, and automatically set the right RWX permissions? I there something I have overlooked in Reiserfs? I would appreciate your learned opinions. Thanks Fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux Kernel 2.2.16 (who cares?)

Has nothing to do with ReiserFS. What do you use for home, /home? So what does 'ls -al /home' say? --=20 To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com = =20 Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq =20 --===============6185620350948299031==--
