Permissions question....

What would be the best permissions setting for the /home mount point? I have several systems but there does not seem to be one consistent example. I am sort of assuming that it should be root:root or root:sys and 775 or 777 but I have some systems that are username:sys? Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Permissions question....

Hi:

For /home, permissions of 755 with an ownership of root:sys or root:root are appropriate.

Regards!

Re: Permissions question....

My suggestion for the mountpoint is owner: root, group root (or sys), and permissions 755.


If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
