The solution (which works) makes no sense to me whatsoever. I had made the users belong to a new group I created (home). I had made the full path to the user's home dirs group rwx. I was always getting errors about the .login.conf file being in a _secure_path and the user not having a home dir. I then changed the ownership of the dirs to group wheel (up to and not including their personnal dir) and making everthing g-o r.x. This worked. The reason why I can't figure out what the problem was is that the users belonged primarily in group "home" and had full privilege to the dirs. Since that's the case, where did it block? Is it the login process which doesn't have the necessary privileges? What else could explain to me why I couldn't log in before making the dirs world read/exec?
