Dear all
I have a strange problem

I ssh to a remote server using the username "madel" and it gives me a strange error:

Last login: Wed Sep 8 18:17:51 2010 from greece.doe.carleton.ca
Could not chdir to home directory /home/madel: Permission denied
grep: /home/madel/.bashrc: Permission denied
Preparing your .bashrc for Linux
cat: /home/madel/.bashrc: Permission denied
mv: accessing `/home/madel/.bashrc.09.08.Sep.09': Permission denied
mv: accessing `/home/madel/.bashrc': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access `/home/madel/.bashrc': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/madel/Desktop': Permission denied
cp: accessing `/home/madel/Desktop/.': Permission denied

I chcked the permissions using ls:
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? madel ls -l:

Now when I su to the root user the ls -l works fine and tell that "madel" is the owner of /home/madel

drwxr-xr-x 64 madel students 4096 Sep 7 21:26 madel


The strange thing is when I do sudo bash
and write cd ~/
it chdir to /home/madel


Can any one help me plzzzzzzzzzz

thanks in advance
Mina

Can this help?
