permissions

[Doug Pollard]

Gettig this error message on after log in
Users home $
user$home / dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default 
session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and 
have 644 permissions.Users$Home directory must be owned by user writeble 
by other users.


I have moved files from and external usb drive they are files saved by 
windows  I want to store them in my user home  drive.  I then want to 
reformat and partition  the usb drive and move clips back into it again 
so that I can work and use video clips in it to be used in Cinelerra.
    What I really need is the comands to change the permissions in user 
home.  If this doesn't make sense I will try to rewrite for more clarity.
                        
This below I think is what I need to change ??

lrwxrwxrwx  1 foo foo    1 2008-09-05 12:04 ubuntu -> .
                Thanks Doug
