if you are in group adm and the /home allows adm group to write to it, you will be able to remove the directory "test? inside /home/
to be "right" you will need to do this: as root: chmod 0700 /home mkdir /home/test chmod 0 /home/test ls -ld /home/test should show root:root owner of /home/test and /home is owned by root:adm the permissions of /home 0700 the permissions of /home/test same as before. now login with id 1001 and try to remove the directory.
