My first bet would be one of the following two options - permissions. Did you check the "sticky" etc. bits? - Invalid directory entries - or weird ones like a file named "?". That could get some software intrepreting the directory list out of its track. Just in doubt, could you provide a listing of "ls -la $dir"? Will you be able to "cd" into that directory as user and/or root? Are there any syslog / dmesg messages when trying to access the $home with one of the programs refusing to work? > The server has a Suse 9.1 on it, maybe you've heard anything? <rant>Well, it's SuSE, you never know about their patches.</rant> No facts that I know about, and I would rather not suspect SuSE being the guilty party here. Although you could of course try accessing the filesystem from a Knoppix CD: does that make a difference?
