Re: Classic Gnubie accident
Hello
The result (as root) of ls -aFI /
./ ../ bin/ boot/ cdrom@ dev/ dyne/ etc/ .fonts.cache-1 home/ initrd/
initrd.img@ lib/ lib64/ lost+found/ media/ mnt/ nano.save opt/ proc/
root/ root.choice/ sbin/ srv/ sys/ tmp/ usr/ var/ vmlinuz@
of -aFI /home
./ ../ bin/ boot/ cdrom@ dev/ dyne/ etc/ .fonts.cache-1 home/ initrd/
initrd.img@ lib/ lib64/ lost+found/ media/ mnt/ nano.save nano.save.1
opt/ proc/ root/ root.choice/ sbin/ srv/ sys/ tmp/ usr/ var/ vmlinuz@
I'm not clear what that proves apart from that roots home directory is root. As it should be as far as I know.
telling you that it is something else, which for reasons I don't know is rejected
by ?dm.

Message is about wrong permissions on file, .dmrc
On your system this should owner anthony:anthony and permissions 600. Message is
telling you that it is something else, which for reasons I don't know is rejected
by ?dm.
