Comment 1 for bug 668747

Using 10.04 LTS.

My /etc/timekpr/<username> files had owner:group == root:root, permissions = 0640, still preventing the client from accessing them.

My workaround was to change the group ownership of each file to the per-user group.

-rw-r----- 1 root username 45 2010-11-20 21:08 username

this still keeps users' setting private from each other
