    How to set up premissions to /home ?


    I was doing system re-install and I copied all files to external HDD (with Windows system file). After returning them to home/ few files were inaccessible, so I changed everything in home/ folder for me (my user account) to be rwx. Is this errrrrr... smart? I am quite bad with file permissions, and I'm not sure if I didn't gave too much access to my home/ folder.

    well the items in your home folder would normaly be rwx for your user account, they normally are not readable by other users

      Usually, only directories and executables are rwx, normal files just rw- (not executable).
      It is not really a security concern, though.
