Why each option
When a user object is created in eDirectory with a home directory, Novell OES NetWare grants the user all standard file system rights except Supervisor to that directory by default.
Read alone is insufficient for a home directory; users also need Write, Create, Erase, Modify, File Scan, and Access Control to fully manage their own files.
Supervisor is not granted by default to a home directory because it flows through the Inherited Rights Filter and would create unintended administrative access implications.
Read and Write cover only two of the seven rights assigned by default; Create, Erase, Modify, File Scan, and Access Control are also included in the default assignment.
Read, Write, Create, and Erase are insufficient because the default assignment also includes Modify, File Scan, and Access Control.
This set omits Access Control, which is included in the default home directory trustee assignment alongside the other six rights.
This set incorrectly includes Supervisor, which is never part of the default home directory assignment, and omits File Scan and Access Control.
By default, Novell eDirectory assigns the newly created user a trustee entry of Read, Write, Create, Erase, Modify, File Scan, and Access Control to their home directory. This set covers every standard file system right except Supervisor, giving the user full management capability over their own files. Supervisor is intentionally excluded because it cannot be blocked by the Inherited Rights Filter and could create unintended elevated access in subdirectories.
Supervisor is not part of the default home directory rights assignment in eDirectory and must never be granted by default to ordinary user directories.
