Ahaa.. I wonder how that happened. Now, I'm logging in allright, but I've got this pesky file or directory '\'. I cannot seem to delete it. I think it's related to this whole issue. Also, now when I log in, instead of my prompt showing joseph@mammalia:~$ I get joseph@mammalia:/usr/home/joseph$ How annoying! How to fix such a thing? I'm in bash, btw. > > man chmod > > If you don't like reading: > > chmod 755 /usr/home Seemed like I couldn't make that work before, but after you said to do it like that, it worked.
