useradd etc/skel public_html permissions problem

bnorton787 · 02-20-2004, 11:34 AM

Using:
Trustix Linux
Apache 2.0

Trying to:
adduser(s) to a web server (I have about 150 to add).

Problem:
using the etc/skel directory I automatically add a public_html directory and index.htm file. In the etc/skel directory both the public_html and the index.htm file are 755. In the user's directory the public_html folder is 701? (rwx --- --x).

Please help, I don't want to do 149 chmod(s).

Thanks

What are the permissions for /home?
ls -l /

/home is drwxr-xr-x (755)

As root
#for f in /home/*; do chmod 755 $f/public_html $f/index.htm ; done

I know it is silly, but it should work!

Thanks RobertP
Sometimes silly is just the right medicine.
