- The permissions on your directory and on the plan file must be correct.
-
- Try 'chmod go+x ~; chmod go+r ~/.plan'
-
- You should check that none of your other files are publicly writable or
- readable without your knowledge. Do this with 'ls -la ~'.
-
- There is also a project file called '.project' that finger will read, if
- it's there. Only the first line will be read.
