Now it works. Thanks you so much, Dave and all of you who helped me
trace and find the problem. Everything is accessible again:
/home# ls -las
total 100
4 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 10 19:03 .
60 drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 57344 Oct 10 18:46 ..
12 drwxrw---- 77 avh avh 12288 Oct 7 03:05 avh
16 drwxr-sr-x 2 root root 16384 May 4 02:23 lost+found
4 drw------- 2 mcr mcr 4096 Oct 10 22:05 mcr
4 drw-rw---- 4 avh users 4096 Sep 2 21:44 pool
Now I still have to get the printer queue permissions right again but I
will try on my own and come back only if I do not succeed.
BTW, my machine is indeed practically a single user machine with a
second account for another user who is completely trusted, so the 777
permissions were created in an attempt to get rid of the permissions
problem while I did not consider / as a possible source of such an
issue. Well, the learning curve...
Best regards,

Oops... Looks like I missed a big one last time... If I read the
above line correctly, the permissions on / are rw-rw----, which is a
Bad Thing. It denies access to any part of the filesystem to all
users. (root still works because those restrictions don't apply to
the superuser.) Try a `chmod 755 /` and see if that helps.
