Hello,

I moved the homedirectories from one server to another.
Somehow the permissons got mixed up.
Is there anyway to check permissions?

Sinds the transfer Firefox (3.0.1) does not anymore restore tabs and doesn't show activ arrows, to go back and forward.

Thanks for any help

Dumb question - are the user ID's and group ID's the same from one machine to the other? The number to name mappings in /etc/passwd and /etc/group? Linux uses the numbers, not the names to determine who owns the files/directory.

Well if you use the Fedora programs to create the users in the same
order they probably will be. But in general the answer is no. You would
have to set them to be the same on purpose.

I know - I guess I didn't make it clear I was asking the OP if he had done it that way. Even creating them in the same order is not a guarantee. Not all systems start with the same UID, and the original system may have some users deleted. But there are ways around that. I have moved the necessary parts of /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow.
