It's probably the ownership rather than the permissions that has
changed. 'ls -l filename' will show you an example of who owns that
directory's files at the moment, then

chown -R newowner:groupname /path/to/directory/

should get you up and running again.

I can check easely owner and group but what I would like to find is a
script that checks the permissions. I remember, sorry to mention it, SCO
unix, they had a utility to check the entire installation.

Like for example .dmrc, in the home dir, need to have a 644 permission.
What permissions should the other .dir have, like .gnome, .evolution eso.


Most directories are very happy with 744 permissions. That would be mostly
what you want since 644 could present problems. The only directory that I
*know requires* a different permission is .ssh, where you'd need 700.


I did notice that you've convinced yourself that your problems are related
to permissions and don't seem interested to explore other possibilities.
AFAIK, you also didn't mention exactly *how* you moved the home directories.

I did not mean to give that impression, sorry.
I copied /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/gshadow
I copied /home with rsync
I hope this is an answer and I am still interested in whatever solution :-)

three questions,
1) when you copied /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/gshadow, did you
use the'-p' option?

2) when you rsynced did you use --perms or --xattrs --acls ?
3) did you convince SELinux that these are user files?

That would make the uids and gids the same but would not affext the
permissiond in the home directory. Did you copy the home directories
also?

permissiond in the home directory. Did you copy the home directories

I do not really remember. I think I just put then there with rsync, but it
could also be that I copied them with tar and then rsync, but wouldn't
that have the same result?

Sorry for late answer, but I'm abroad.

Probably I should say now sh...
I forgot the -p option that preserves the permissions
Probably I won't forget this anymore.

I thank you for your time, Aaron

I hope you have good weather over there, where you are :-)
