Thanks Larry,
I'm not sure, if I got the message ... I think, that you think ;-) that
the problem is, that my home dir belongs to admins (which was
administrators or Administratoren before) instead of admin.
When I chown my home dir to admin, ls looks better, but it doesn't
change anything.
That's what I did:
---
$ chown admin .
admin@CIABATTA ~
$ pwd
/home/admin
admin@CIABATTA ~
$ echo "some dumb string" > testfile
bash: testfile: Permission denied
admin@CIABATTA ~
$ ls -la
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 2 admin Kein 0 Apr 8 15:11 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 admin Kein 0 Apr 8 15:11 ..
---
Hmmm?
Btw., the behaviour doesn't come after shortening names in the
passwd file. It's absolutely the same with the default long names.
Ciao Ulrich.
