But there are some things in OpenSolaris which strike me as strange, and 'non-Solaris'. For example, when I created the original user during the install, its permissions were 700, yet when I created a second user afterwards, they were 755. Nor have I ever come across a situation where I couldn't delete a user directory as root. Even when dropping down to single-user mode, I still cannot delete that directory. I can't umount it, either. Telling me that I can't delete a directory if I 'su' as that user is pretty insulting, really. Well, it would be, but since I didn't tell anyone I used to do this for a living, I'm not offended. :) I'm obviously doing something wrong, but that's OK. I've created another user directory for myself, and the 'old' one is sitting empty. I'll live with it. Thanks for the advice, anyway. :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
