Thank you, Joseph. > Send the output of the following commands (run as the user in question): ls -load ~ du ~ id Things to check for: In ls output, does your username show up as the owner of the directory? If you get a numerical uid instead of your username, that may be a sign that your uid has been altered. Can you read and execute it? Does du output anything at all, or does it say permission denied? Does the output of id make sense? Does your uid match what it is supposed to be? Also, if that first ls says permission denied, then the permissions on /home or /usr/home are in question. Try ls -load /home instead. -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
