Hi, 
I decided to write my post because I didn`t get solution on my forum.I have problem with access to root account and user account.If I write user name and password I get in console:
| Code: |
Unable to cd to "/home/User_name"
|
I use LILO bootloader.
Regards and in advance I thank you very much for help novice user Gentoo.

As you reach the login, then you are way past the bootloader.
If you didn't define the home folder for root, it logs you in with / as homefolder... per default. should
Did you put the quotes " actual into the /etc/passwd where the homefolderpath is defined?
Did you check the permissions on the users homefolder?

Hi,
Thank you very much for answers.I have to explain from the beginning what is the heart of the matter.I installed Gentoo with Gnome environment but when I login per GDM (write username and password) I received announcement:
I tried to translate from polish into english: 
| Code: |
File $HOME/.dmrc was ignored.This is the reason that system could`t write default session and language.The file should belong to user and to have rights 644.Directory $HOME user has to belong to him and could`t be written by another users.
|
I get help on my forum and I write in console:
| Code: |
cd /home
chmod 700 /home/my_user_name
chmod 644 /home/my_user_name/.dmrc
chown /home/my_user_name/.dmrc
|
The file /home/my_user_name/.dmrc did`t exist so I write in console
| Code: |
touch /home/my_user_name/.dmrc
|
and repeat command:
| Code: |
chmod 644 /home/my_user_name/.dmrc
|
This action didn`t effect:
I repeat this command assuming that my home directory is /home (but with this same effect).
so I write in console:
and I known that $Home=/root
I wrote the same above commands assuming that home directory is (/)
...and now I couldn`t to login to any user and root acounts.
When I write login and password in console I received:
| Code: |
Unable to cd to "/home/my_user_name"
This is my_user_name.unknow_domain (Linux i686 2.6.34-tuxonice-r6-libre)
my_user_name login:
username
password
...and over and over again...
....
|
What you think about my problem.Is way to solve it or I should think rather about reinstallation?

No need for reinstallation. Boot from a LiveCD, chroot, and restore proper permissions:
| Code: |
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jan 3 08:07 / # 755
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 26 16:20 /home # 755
drwx--x--x 132 user users 12288 Feb 2 19:12 /home/user # 711

Yes, here's the right sequence of commands:
| Code: |
chmod 755 /
chmod 755 /home
chmod 711 /home/user
|
Of course use your own username instead of "user". By the way, you can learn more about the commands by running "man chmod" and "man chown". There is another good guide here: http://www.funtoo.org/en/articles/linux/lpi/3/
