Re: [opensuse] Re: Is it possible to set group permissions = owner permissions
Hi,
you can always issue a chmod 701 $HOME after your user has been created...

While that's easy enough to do on a home system, if you're running a large network with many users, it's another thing that has to be done. Why not just have a check box for such an option? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

With 10.2, you can change it under Expert Options, Default for new users. I don't remember if that was there before or not.

You can change the umask for new users, but not give them their own group. It's been that way for quite some time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Why not just edit the files by hand, it really is not that difficult, you only have /etc/group, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow. For large companies most of them are using NFS and NIS so this makes it really easy. Mike On Wednesday 20 December 2006 06:46, James Knott wrote:
