Just curious. Anyhow, it sounds to me as if your "home" partition/directory is now missing. As root you should try to "cd /usr/home/" and see if the directory structure still exists. For the record, I doubt that you can just chmod a file/directory or two and make this go away. If things are broken beyond your ability to diagnose/repair them you might be better off reinstalling. -- Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
