The problem was with permissions. However, I'm going through hell right now trying to set up a sudoers file that will allow users to create their own home directories. The key problem is creating it with *their* permissions. If I can just be able to create a directory with specified permissions, *without* having the utility change the permissions on an already made directory, I'll be happy. Problems so far: /bin/install -o user does the trick, but if you call it on a directory that already exists, it has its owner changed to user. /bin/mkdir has no way of specifying the owner, and I'm NOT going to allow every user to do a `sudo chown` for obvious reasons. -- Stephen Touset <stephen@touset.org>
