The appropriate changes were made via vipw to the password file, and all the directories were moved. The problem that now exists is that if any of /home's subdirectories are chmoded to 750, users' home directories are not found at login. It doesn't happen if the directories are set to 751 or 755, it doesn't happen if you ssh in, it doesn't happen if you run /usr/bin/login by hand after logging in, and it doesn't happen if you use screen and ^a-c out to a shell. It happens whether or not telnetd is wrapped with tcpwrappers, it happens despite telnetd being run as root, and it happens even with a very liberal set of permissions on any file I could conceive of being used in the login process. We are running 2.2.7-Stable, and the only modifications to our login process are the tcpwrappers. I'm open to any and all ideas.
