Correct $HOME/.dmrc permissions

21 06 2009

Something modified the permissions of my $HOME/.dmrc file. Consequently an annoying error display at login:

User’s $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default language and session from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writeable by other users.

to fix the permissions:

$ sudo chown -R $USERNAME: $HOME
$ chmod 755 $HOME
$ chmod 644 $HOME/.dmrc
