i was root,i'm the only one administrator in the house here (and the only
one who know something about computer),the permission was good before,in
just that i needed to run the chown program to change the owner (i was
root when i changed the home partition),live by learning,i propose that
this thread be closed as the problem was mostly a lack of concentration of
my part.

thanks for all who responded and i'm very sorry that my message has caused
a bandwith hog for a stupid user error.
