Oh boy, I was making an attempt to secure my files a little bit today. I set the default umask to 027 and did some chmod -R o-rwx * in my home directory are among what I recall doing. However - I have a couple user accounts I use, and I tried to su to one of them, and it failed with the following error: su: no directory If I try to ssh in with the specified account, I get disconnected with "Connot find root directory". I don't know if this means it can't find /home/user or if it can't find / in general?? The home dirs have permissions 750 and are owned by the proper owners. I can log in fine as root and the user I was making the modifications as, but not as two other users. Everything seems to be fine - /etc/passwd has no problems, the home directories are there..I can't figure out what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help... Isetr0 p.s. There are no errors in /var/log/messages, or /var/log/auth.log - I can authenticate just fine, but then it kicks me out - perhaps I set some permissions incorrectly somewhere...What perms should /usr/home have? I've tried ith 755 and 750 - no luck. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
