Hello,

I am having some problems with one of my gentoo installations. everytime I try to do things like:

Code:

su - user
Unable to cd to "/home/user"

they fail. I am sure that I did not change anything lately. Any ideas?

You will get that error.. if the user you are trying to su to .... does not have a home directory. Create the home directory as root.. chown it to the user:group and try it again. hanji
