Topic: /home/e-smith/... Permissions

[Ryan Blankenship]

Can somebody please tell me what the owner:group and permissions should be for the following directories?  

My owner:group and permissions are after the '<<'.

/home/e-smith  << admin:admin 770
/home/e-smith/files << root:root 755
/home/e-smith/files/users << root:root 755
/home/e-smith/files/users/(user)  << (user):(user) 777
/home/e-smith/files/users/(user)/Maildir << (user):(user) 755
/home/e-smith/files/users/(user)/Mail << (user):(user) 700

Thanks in advance.  I'm having trouble with all mail accounts except admin.  The folders and messages have "disappeared." I'm wondering if it is permissions. When I try to create a directory in IMP in an account besides admin, I get "Could not create node: /home/e-smith/files/".

On SME 5.5U6

Differences are:

/home/e-smith << admin:admin 755
/home/e-smith/files/users/(user) << (user):(user) 700 (except admin 755)

Would it still be the same on SME 5.6?

Can't think of a reason why not!

It works now!!! [Sigh of relief].  I'm a student in high school, a newbie to Linux (but have a good understanding of it), server administrator, email administrator, ... not to mention other things.  Thanks a bunch.  I think it was the /home/e-smith permissions that did the trick.  I have the /home/e-smith/users/(user) as 755 for public webspace.
