Sorry  I did not remember all the settings as I was more worried about
my servers which are accessible through Internet.

I am going to install FC3 in few days time and then I will check
allthe settings.

What I remember is that I cannot go into any user home directory as a
normal user unless and until i do su - user or i know root
password.Moreover i cannot see the contents of the root user home
directory as a normal user.

I think I should  have checked all the permissions before changing any
permissions.

Thanks & Regards
