Re: Can't log in - Help!
Sounds like a permissions problem. If you moved your 'dden' directory while logged in as root, it is possible that it is now owned by root and as user dden you dont have access to it. Can you do an `ls -la /home` and email the result? or alternatively you could try this... 1. log in as root 2. cd /home 3. chown dden.dden dden 4. chmod 750 dden Matthew David Densmore wrote: > > When I try to login to my normal user account I get this message: > > Unable to cd to "/home/dden" > > I can still log in as root, but I don't know how to fix the problem. > I used the adduser command to create a new account and couldn't > get into that one either. > > Right before this happened I logged in as root and moved a subdirectory > from my home directory to my root directory so that it would be > inaccessable to my normal user account.

What happens when you do "ls -ld /home" and "ls -l /home"? What happens if you login as root, su to dden, and try to "cd /home/dden"? > Right before this happened I logged in as root and moved a subdirectory > from my home directory to my root directory so that it would be > inaccessable to my normal user account.

Can't log in - Help!
When I try to login to my normal user account I get this message: Unable to cd to "/home/dden" I can still log in as root, but I don't know how to fix the problem. I used the adduser command to create a new account and couldn't get into that one either. Right before this happened I logged in as root and moved a subdirectory from my home directory to my root directory so that it would be inaccessable to my normal user account. Could this have caused the problem? I moved it back but that didn't help. I used Win98 to send this email, please forgive me. David Densmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
