What?

This is on CentOS 6.5. I create the user using the Perl script adduser, which uses useradd as the backend. However, when I try to login, it says the home directory doesn't exist. If I do an "ls -lah" on /home, it's right there. Funny thing is, if I login as root and then "su - jon", I drop right into the correct home directory with no complaints.

ls -lah of /home...
drwxrwx---. 4 jon jon 4.0K Oct 19 19:10 jon

Relevant entry of /etc/passwd...
jon:x:500:500::/home/jon:/bin/bash

I should add that the home directory is on a different partition (ext4). If I have the home directory on the root partition (/), the problem vanishes. Could it be an SELinux problem? I notice that it's enforcing.

Any ideas? This is really bugging me. I've never seen this before.

can you post the perl script that you used to create the user?

Not to worry, was SELinux. It apparently doesn't like the home directory being on a different partition. I really need to learn SELinux at some point.
