Public bug reported: Binary package hint: user-setup
/home/<user>/.Private gets currenty mounted as /home/<user> with permissions set to rwx------ by default. This is changing the default to have homedirs readable among users and for example breaks sharing files and having ~/public_html work. We can not assume that by using the encrypted home feature the user always wants private homedir permissions. For example encryption might be chosen for data protection in case of laptop theft. In fact encryption and file and directory permissions are different things. Information on how to improve the directories and file permissions for user managing collaboration in general can be found on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiUserManagement ** Affects: user-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- encrypted home setup is messing with/breaking permissions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
