Question : Netware 6 user rights?!

What should the default rights to a users home dir be??
The guy I work with said back way back when the user was only to get "CFREWM"
The default on netware6 is full rights to the user dir. Is this right or is novell smoking something? or am I smoking something 'cause I don't ever remember hearing that. I'm sure in NW3.X and 4 there might have been an issue but is it still there?? I've looked on the web and have found nothing on this.

TIA

Answer : Netware 6 user rights?!

Well, hush my mouth and feed me chitlins....

I just went into our test tree using ConsoleOne v1.3.3. I selected a context and created a new Template.

Under the New Object FS Rights tab, plain as day, the default rights for the user Home Directory are set to SRWECMFA.

That's insane. That's a stupdity I'd expect from M$, not the guys in Provo.

jscart, go into your Template, to that tab, and deselect the Supervisor and Access Control right, then save the Template. From that point on, new users created with that Template will not get those additional rights.

As for the 200 or so you already have, you can write a batch file to use the FLAG command to remove the extra rights. This can be done from the command-line, no need to use ConsoleOne.
