I think that's reporting that it thinks that your HOME directory = /, not /home/bill. > My installation is on hda5 and my /bil account is on hda7 with a symlink > from hda5's /home. > > I can access the directories through a file manager. > > /home and /home/bill show privileges as rwx r-x r-x.

Can you cat /etc/fstab, and also do an ls -ld /home /home/bill and post that output? Also show us the output of the mount command, in case for some reason /dev/hda7 is being mounted read-only. luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
