The UNIX file permisions are kinda screwy. For a file, the
"x" attribute means "execute allowed", but for a directory
"x" attribute means "can change directory to this place".

Try adding "x" to your directory, it may help.

$ chmod 754 /home/tanguy

You may need 755.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
