For example, the home for "sageame" below has "subs2" as the owner of the "../" directory and the same "trash" appears in every user's home. "subs2" is another user but appears this way in every home directory. I removed a user at about the time this happened... did I somehow trash the ownership structure? I may have messed up when I used "pw deluser " for the first time instead of just "remuser". I put the user back, but the one deleted wasn't the user "subs2" Does anyone know how this could happen and how do I fix it back...????
