When I login as the new user I can see in dolphin that there is a folder daniel in home, but I cannot access it.
This is easier to explain in CLI that GUI. /home has read permission for 'other' so anyone can read THE DIRECTORY. It also has read permission for group, and by default with openSuse creating a new user puts them in group 'users'. So, who owns /home? What group does it belong to? The command 'ls', which _L_i_S_ts directory entries only needs to read its parameters. Reading the directory /home shows the folder 'daniel'. Now look at the permissions for that folder. You can use ls -l (long form) to do that. See who owns it, what group its in and what the group and other access permissions are. You don't as this new user have access to read that folder. So you can't list its contents. Now as 'daniel', you can see that /home/daniel/Desktop does (or should, if its in the creation skeleton in /etc/skel) have the folder 'Desktop'. While that may be readable, hence listable, by other, you can't get at it as the new user because you can't get past /usr/daniel. Not even if you give the full path. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
