<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT>I've had Linux running for years and I've never experienced this before. I was creating Samba accounts and changing ownership on folders and all of a sudden it said that the user (my) home directory did not exist anymore. I logged onto the server as root and everything is still there. However when I or any other user now tries to log in it says that it doesn't exist.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Error message:</DIV>
<DIV>Your home directory is listed as:</DIV>
<DIV>'/home/username'</DIV>
<DIV>but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to log in with the /(root) directory as your home directory?</DIV>
<DIV>It is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe session.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What happened? I checked root's history and I only changed ownership for subdirectories.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've tried to reboot the server and the problem still exists.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas?</DIV></BODY></HTML>
