about permissions

[tony seth]

Hi all:  I have made a bit of a mess of my system, and need a bit of 
help to fix it.  I tried recreating a user, and although that went 
fine, when I tried to run a program in X, the X server shut down due to 
permissions not being correct.  I tried correcting this by chmod 666 on 
the home directory, but now can't log in with my home directory. Can 
anyone tell me what the correct permissions on the /home directory 
should be, and also those on a directory of a user within that 
directory?  Thanks much!
Cjeerep!
