I reinstalled FreeBSD (without removing /home) and then added users. Obviously uids changed and I was getting those messages: /home/user/.login_conf is not owned by uid 1002 (for example) All I needed to do was 'chmod -R user:user /home/user/*' (recursive) Note: check man chmod, I'm not sure if that's good syntax Check the owner of that file. I'm not sure why do you get 'is not owned by *root*' but maybe it's similar problem. Hope that helps Karol Kwiatkowski
