I've been fiddling about with the permissions on evolution, trying to understand how they work etc. Now I want to restore the permissions to the default settings. Other than a complete re-install is there any way that this can be done. I foolishly didn't make a note of the defaults before fiddling. It's no big deal I guess, I can always re-install.
Lesson: make a tarball of the config and store it somewhere, just in case, before fiddling. Solution: hopefully, someone else using Evolution will pipe up with a default config listing. Generally, for email clients and most other programs that store data per user in directories below ~ : Files: chmod 644 is a catch-all, chmod 600 is for the security minded. Directories: chmod 755 and chmod 700 respectively. Any file containing anything to do with passwords, encryption etc. should be chmod 600, directories chmod 700. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
