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?
I mentioned this a while ago and while it isn't a severe problem if the permissions are set correct, they're not in SUSE. As default, anyone in the users group has access to everyone else's home directory. Either change the group or change the permissions to prevent that. I agree that individual groups should at least be an option in SUSE. You may want to change the default permissions, if you don't create individual groups. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
