[K12OSN] Homedir Permissions

[Doug Simpson]

How that happens is:

A user is deleted using AD and then another user with the same name gets 
added. But the user's home directory was *not* automatically removed 
during the deletion of that other user so the new user gets the old user's 
home directory.

Best thing to do it to always remember to delete or rename a user's home 
directory after you dselete the user.

Been There. . . Done That!
