I didn't just simply press <ENTER> at each line (as you seem to imply when you say "when you choose /home"). I actually entered /usr/home instead of /home. Also, my first tries were with a symlink /home pointing to /usr/home, which had given me the same problems. In terms of tampering, apart from adding group home by hand within /etc/group and changing the group ownership of /usr and /usr/home (plus making them writable by the group) I don't see what else I could have done that would have given me this problem. I mean, the directory is there, all the files are there, the files and home dir all belong to the user and are read/write user and group, why is it choking and giving me a _secure_path error each time I try to login as that user???
