goto this /etc/passwd and check whether you see your host path in your username
then goto /etc to check the user enviroment file.

has anybody encountered this problem and rectified it?
Pls help
    

*** Something or somebody must've done something. Home directories don't get
lost by them selves. While you try to remember what has been done between
today and the day it still worked, you might want to check:

1/
Like David proposed, if your home dir still exists in /home
    ls /home/

2/
Check that it has the right permissions (775 or 755) and user:group settings
    ls -l /home/

3/
Check that your /etc/passwd didn't get hosed
    ls -l /etc/passwd

4/
Check what /etc/password says your home dir should be.
    grep [your_username] /etc/passwd

5/
Give us the results.
