permissions

[Cyber Source]

To avoid things like that, when I setup a multi-user system in a
friendly environment, I add all users the the users group, then I change
permissions under /home for all users to be 770. That should eliminate
future problems like that. Add the user to the users group,
redhat-config-users on redhat, then open a terminal, become root and
"chmod 770 /home"
