Customized Home directory ownership is changing automatically to its original after login.
Issue
- User's Home directory ownership is changing automatically to its original after login.
-
Example:
- with a new user testuser and the ownerships of homefolder
/home/testuser
changed to root:testuser instead of testuser:testuser - after a login (with ssh or su) with
testuser
, the ownership is reverted back to owner testuser:testuser again instead of root.
- with a new user testuser and the ownerships of homefolder

Test example:
# getent passwd testuser testuser:x:5030:5068::/home/testuser:/bin/bash # ls -ld /home/testuser drwx------. 2 testuser testuser 4096 Nov 5 20:52 /home/testuser # chown root /home/testuser # ls -ld /home/testuser drwx------. 2 root testuser 4096 Nov 9 20:52 /home/testuser # ssh testuser@server1 testuser@server1's password: $ cd .. $ ls -ld testuser drwx------. 2 testuser testuser 4096 Nov 9 20:52 testuser
