Much to my surprise I found out that openSUSE doesn't create a group by default with the same name as the username. For example in Gentoo creating the user 'aniruddha' also creates the group 'aniruddha'. This a long time tradition to solve problems caused by using using the 'users' group for home folders.
What is the reason openSUSE doesn't create a $username group for each user?
never did. the reason to create such group is controversial (I don't have the link to the discussion, though)
Why not make it an option? Or at least change the default permissions, so that users don't have access to other home directories? -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
