Topic: roaming profiles and file permissions

[Pat Erler]

hi!

when i log into my e-smith server from w2k pro workstations, the users profile is correctly saved on to the server only if the directory /home/e-smith/files/user/USERNAME/profile has the permissions 777.

now, the problem is, when the directory gets autmoatically created (by whom btw?) it gets permission 770, when i create it by putting an appropriate directory into /etc/e-smith/skel/user/home with permission 777 it gets converted to 755 when the new user is created. both scenarios resulting in an error message when logging out in windows (at the time the profile is saved at the server).

what can i do here?

- is there a script "post-user-creation" where i can put a "chmod /home/e-smith/files/user/USERNAME/profile" into?

is it really neccessary to give the profile directory 777?

where is the file permission from /etc/e-smith/skel changed in the process of the new user creation?

whats is 42?

thanks in advance,
