In my system all the user directories in /home disappeared. No one deleted it. But I don’t know how it is missing. I had one or two open sessions where I already logged in as root and cd’ed to one particular home directory. From there I am able to access files in that home directory. But not from a new session. In new session it always says no such file or directory.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> All my user accounts still exists. I have totally around 10 user accounts in that machine. I haven’t rebooted that machine thinking that I can do something without reboot. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Do anyone know the reason for this and if so how to recover it.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards<o:p></o:p> Kapil Sampath<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> "The greatest sin is to think yourself weak"<o:p></o:p> - Swami Vivekananda<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV> <HR COLOR="gray"> </DIV> <DIV>If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it. <A HREF="http://www.ml.com/email_terms/">Click here </A>for important additional terms relating to this e-mail. <A HREF="http://www.ml.com/email_terms/">http://www.ml.com/email_terms/</A></DIV> <DIV> <HR COLOR="gray"> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
