I don't have time to research it, but couldn't a rule be set in /etc/default/useradd? BTW - The instructions above could be made simpler by this: install -m700 -d /home/username useradd -m username chown username/usergroup /home/username (this was added) The stuff in /etc/skel will copy over with the same perms. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 14:37:00 up 171 days, 14:10, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.07, 0.32 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
