Setting correct permissions for my ~/

ShadyCharacter · 04-14-2004, 01:18 PM

I decided a little bit ago to move my /home dir to it's own separate Reiser partition, because it was getting pretty large and using up my smallish / partition.
Everything seemed to go smoothly, and I chown-ed and chmod-ed the user dirs (I think) correctly.

I tried starting openoffice, but when I do that I get
bash: ./soffice: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
I thought 'hmm..' and then tried starting NWN. Well...
bash: ./nwmain: Permission denied

I retried setting permissions, but to no avail.

Here's what I did as root...

Code:

chown -R <user> /home/<user>
chmod -R 754 /home/<user>

And if it helps, here's my /etc/fstab line for the partition.

Code:

dev/hda6               /home       reiserfs            auto,rw,user,owner           0 0

Well, those messages suggest that you've
chmod'ed (or moved?) something other than
/home ...

Cheers,

Here's what I did as root...

Code:

chown -R <user> /home/<user> chmod -R 754 /home/<user>

do a "chgrp <group>(most likely users) /home/<user>"
And if it helps, here's my /etc/fstab line for the partition.

Code:

dev/hda6 /home reiserfs auto,rw,user,owner 0 0

and set "user" to "users", I believe you have to specify a user when using user, whereas users lets anyone mount it, although you dont need to considering it is automounted at boot time.
