whenever I create a new account, the home folder for that account, for some reason, belongs to root, and group root, not username, group users. It had me boggled for a whole day and wasted a lot of time! you should change useradd to allow the new user to actually use his or her folder! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.try to use useradd or any user management system for kde, xfce or gnome. 2.add a user. 3.try and use that user. Actual Results: Lots of errors, permissions were screwed Expected Results: Added a new user with the correct permissions: owner: username group: users
How are you adding your users? Which version of sys-apps/shadow? Also, post your /etc/default/useradd. This definitely does not happen here...
i initially tried... well... i cant remember the exact string, but: I used useradd to: create my user, add it to the groups portage (which doesn't do anything, I still need su to emerge stuff), games (I'm a gamer), disk, usb, video, audio and made my main group users. I told it my shell was /bin/bash and my home was /home/chaz (which GNOME's user add program changed to /home/$user, which did the exact same thing but saved time). I then used passwd to change my password (while I was logged on as root). I did the exact same steps under gnome's user manager. I'll try and get that other info later, I'm tired.
Also, how do I get the info from those things you wanted?
