Just to be on the safe side I'd try: # chown -R geo:users /home/geo # chown -R george:users /home/george Just to ensure that the permissions are cascading down correctly. The only reason I'm suggesting this is that, by the sounds of things, you're trying to recreate a new user using files from an old user. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
