aivo · 04-03-2003, 09:45 AM

when i login to my linux with a normal user account i get that kinda message
Could not chdir to home directory /home/aivo: Permission denied
bash: /home/aivo/.bash_profile: Permission denied

How did you create the user?

Log in as root and see what the file permissions are on /home/aivo

aivo · 04-03-2003, 09:49 AM

i greated the user with useradd
ls -l /home/aivo/
total 0

and the command ls -l home
drwxrwxrwx 2 aivo aivo 1024 apr 3 17:26 aivo

actually i cant run any command with that user

What distro are you using?

I'm a bit stumped right now, but depending on what tools you have available, lets see what we can find.

redhat 7.3

Ok, can you get to a gui?

I'm just wondering what would happen if you added another user using a different method. If that user works properly then the problem maybe with useradd (ie: maybe the syntax you used is a problem...I'm not too familiar with it myself)

aivo · 04-03-2003, 10:17 AM

yes i can

tcaptain · 04-03-2003, 10:20 AM

Then try creating a second user.

Also, I just noticed...is there any reason why you're double posting? You really shouldn't do that.

aivo · 04-03-2003, 10:22 AM

ok

its the same with the new user ill tried that

aivo · 04-03-2003, 10:25 AM

i can cd into all other directories but not to home

aivo · 04-03-2003, 10:26 AM

and the home directory has that kinda premissions on it
drw-rw-rw- 15 aivo root 1024 apr 3 18:18 home

aivo · 04-03-2003, 10:28 AM

i see now that i do not have execute permission

aivo · 04-03-2003, 10:40 AM
