That shouldn't be a problem, but /home is normally owned by root.staff with permissions 2775 (rwxrwsr-x). With your current permissions, anyone could create new directories under /home, which is generally not a good thing unless you're the system's only user. > ls -las /home > total 120 4 drwxrwxrwx 11 root users 4096 Oct 8 23:55 . > 60 drw-rw---- 24 root root 57344 Oct 10 18:46 .. The "total 120" includes the 60 from the parent directory. Adding that to the rest of the entries should give about the right number of blocks used. > 4 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 20:16 .xvpics > 4 drwxrwxrwx 4 root users 4096 Aug 8 00:39 KDE Again, unless this is a single-user box, all the mode 777 directories are troubling. > 12 drw-rw---- 77 avh avh 12288 Oct 7 03:05 avh User avh doesn't work because nobody has permission to enter his home directory - including himself. `chmod ug+x /home/avh` should fix this. > 4 drwxrwxrwx 2 1002 root 4096 Oct 6 23:52 mcr > 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 1004 test 4096 Oct 8 23:07 test > 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 1005 test2 4096 Oct 8 23:55 test2 The numbers listed for owner on these directories mean that the owning user no longer exists. I don't recall whether they were on your 'users who can't log in' list, but you generally can't log in if you don't exist... -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Mr. Slippery
