Just like the handbook told me to, but that was something like 4 years ago. Something I need to say here is that a couple of years after I created the user, I restored the system from tar files using a Knoppix CD. Not sure if this messed things up (e.g. at some point I discovered that my /home directory was set as drwxr_xr_t). > > More recently, I created a new user, user_name2 and the ownership > > of /home/user_name2 became user_name2:user_name2 (the latter being a > > group for user_name2). > > see above. # useradd -m -G users,wheel,audio,plugdev -s /bin/bash <user_name> -- Regards, Mick
