oops ... in my playing around on my system I managed to stuff up some 
permissions.  Well, actually I was doing the 'final' migration from 
Windows 2000 to Ubuntu and root had ownership of sof of the files from my 
old home directory.  So I'm just wondering ...

... what are the correct/recommended owner and permissions for the /home 
directory?

... what are the correct/recommended owner and permissions for the user 
directory in /home?

... and finally, what are the correct/recommended owner and permissions 
for the Lost&Found directory in /home?

Cheers and many thanks,

Ian
