This mean that I cannot launch openoffice.org with guest account.

I just ran a test (put two files in rootcopy and assigned one to guest, one to root, in my /home/guest directory), and ownership was passed on through rootcopy.

Are you by chance running off a FAT or NTFS device with your 32-bit install, and a linux partition for 64-bit?

Or, maybe this is another LST issue, as those seem to be all the rage today :)

Please confirm:

1) Folder/files have guest permissions in rootcopy.
2) You are NOT running on a FAT32 partition.

In fact on booth system, I am using ntfs, and owner is root.
However, on 32bit edition, only root can write, delete and modify the folder/home/guest/.openoffice3 whereas in 64bits edition, both root ang guest can modify, creat and delete the content of /home/guest/.openoffice3 and openoffice can be run by guest.

The 64 bits edition is doing it wrong!
