not a bug! if you use umask 022 on /home, /home/user is 755 user user so, user can modify/erase all files in its $HOME. directory's permissions have prior on the files permissions.... if root wants to put a file in /home/user that he doesn't want user to modify, he has to put it in a specific dir which he is the owner. try this as root: cd /home/user mkdir test # test must be 755 root root cd test touch test1 touch test2 now try as user to mv or rm test1 and test2 in /home/user/test..... bye jipe -- Le syndicalisme est à la société moderne ce que le mercure-au-chrome est à la jambe de bois.
