People - On a recently built FreeBSD 2.2.2 machine, I'm getting a very strange error from login shells for all users: csh: Permission denied csh: Trying to start from "/Users/dlowe" This seems to happen regardless of which shell they are using. This started happening when we cut the home directories over to an NFS mounted disk. I dug through some shell source code, and found the relevant section of code. It looks like the shell is getting an error from the getwd() call. But why? Home is /Users/dlowe - # grep ^dlowe /etc/passwd dlowe:*:12028:10:David Lowe:/Users/dlowe:/bin/csh I have r-x access to the directory, and each interim directory - # ls -ald / drwxr-xr-x 16 root wheel 512 Sep 18 12:14 / # ls -ald /Users drwxr-xr-x 105 root daemon 2048 Aug 29 15:16 /Users # ls -ald /Users/dlowe drwxr-xr-x 11 dlowe staff 1024 Sep 22 12:22 /Users/dlowe And the mount has no strangeness - # mount /dev/sd0a on / (NFS exported, local) /dev/sd0s1f on /usr (asynchronous, local, noatime) /dev/sd0s1e on /var (local) procfs on /proc (local) vega:/usr/home on /Users vega:/usr/next on /private vega:/usr/spool on /usr/spool Has anyone seen this particular error and diagnosed it? This seems very very odd to me. Thanks in advance, David Lowe
