From: mcannall@cps.msu.edu (Thomas Mcannally) Subject: Another Linux Newbie SOS File system problems? Date: 23 Sep 1993 03:35:25 GMT
I just installed Linux on my computer and I have set up X.
I would like to set up some users on my system, but when
use the command "adduser -m User" the directories are created,
and the . files are transfered to the directory. I chmod my
home directory to 755 and chown the directory so the owner is
User. I also chmod this directory to 744 . The problem is
that unless I am logged in as the root user I cannot write to my
directory. I cannot write anything whatsoever. I also tried making
home and the user directories 777 just to see if that would work, No
such luck. I am stumped , I read the linux Faq and all I can find is
what I should do to chown and chmod directories and files. I hace
not found anything to explain my situation. Some help on this would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you !!!
