As mentioned on another thread recently, you need to pass the
`#:recursive? #t` option to `local-file` if you want to preserve your
file permissions.
``` scheme
(home-environment
(services
(list
(service home-files-service-type
`((".fdm.conf" ,(local-file "dotfiles/fdm.conf" #:recursive? #t))
(".msmtprc" ,(local-file "dotfiles/msmtprc" #:recursive? #t)))))))
```
Happy hacking!
Gary
