you are right, but how could it happend? my home directory was: drwxrwxr-x 126 erik root 8192 Sep 30 03:13 erik it must have happened when I installed jre or Limewire (but I installed both of these as erik under my home directory, not as root)... very strange... I am sure it was owned by erik, group was erik and permissions were 700. anyway, thanks! erik
