Hi all, I am a bit confused about the default group Id of accounts on suse 5.2 I have given several accounts with the same default "users" group. I have changed the permission of their home spaces to 750. They can't read each other's directories

You are setting the home spaces up to drwxr-x--- (if you are talking about the home directories?) And actually, you are giving everyone in the same group permission to read and execute files in each others home directories. I usually use the midnight commander to make any file changes as it is a lot easier to read the current permissions and go from there (change or leave alone). You may also want to confirm that the users you want to share read access are truly members of the same groups? (A good way to check that is su, give the root password, then issue on the commandline groups $user, where $user is the login id of the user you want to check on). You can also create a little script to accomplish the same thing:-) -- cya l8r Leon McClatchey leonmcclatchey@homemail.com Party on Linux:-) -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
