Re: Could not chdir to home directory
Hiya Nita,... I'm sure you'll get lots of help on this list. Just a question for you. Any chance you could convice the Juniper bigwigs to release the source code for the DX platform given that it's now end of life? I know it was based on FreeBSD and, as a former Redline/DX user I know it's got some nice stuff under the hood. I know that the BSD community would be thrilled if Juniper were to give something back to the people who provided the platform that DX was based on. If such a thing were to happen, I know I'd find it hard to ever recommend a different network tech vendor to my clients. It's a long shot, but I figured it was worth asking the question ;-) -D p.s. if you still are stuck with your homedir problems, feel free to contact me off-list.

Wow that's an old release.
The standard home directory is in:
/usr/home/{username}
or it's equivalent
/home/{username}
You have /homes not /home in your error message which could be the cause.
You can also make sure the directory exists and has the correct permissions.

Re: Could not chdir to home directory
Hi, Nita You can also use ~ to mention your home directory. $ cd ~ // Go to home directory $ pwd // Check the output, to know where is the home and may use chdir command if you want to change your home directory.
