[SOLVED] Change directory failed on login

Hi,
I've just made a fresh install following the Beginners Guide, and after rebooting into Arch everything is ok if I login as root, but attempting to login as any other user gives me an error like:
-- user: /home/user: change directory failed: Permission denied
output of ls -l /home/ gives:
drwx------ 2 user users 4096 Feb 17 06:30 user
Help!

Seems to be ok.
I can reproduce your error message when I do a chmod a-rwx /home/user but with 0700 as you wrote the login works.
Other wild guesses (with no profound knowledge from my side): Is the /home dir mounted from somewhere? Could it be some (misconfigured) security framework (selinux, AppArmor etc.) that blocks access to the home dir?

  • [SOLVED] Changing Directory Display in NCMPCPP Browser

    Is anyone familiar with an option to change how directories are displayed in NCMPCPP's file browser? The default surrounds a directory with brackets, i.e.
    [Boards of Canada]
    [Califone]
    [Department of Eages]
    I can't find an option to disable or change that, and it's obnoxious because my album folders already have brackets around them.

  • I am getting a Changing Password Failed error when I try to join an active directory

    I had a working AD configuration under Snow Leopard. When I upgraded to Mountain Lion, my account was no longer in sync with the domain. I got the red dot on the login screen and my domain password was out of sync. I unhooked from the domain at that point. This was several months ago.
    However, over the last few weeks, I keep finding myself locked out of the domain. I suspect it's something on my Mac that is trying to use my old credentials. I was hoping to rejoin the domain and see if I could get my account back in sync. When I get a domain admin to enter his password on the Directory Utility join screen, it first notes that the computer account already exists in the domain. I tell it to continue, but I can't get past this point:

    Reggierror,
    Had the same issue and discovered that I made my AD object name too long (16 instead of 15 character which is the limit) You might want to try making the computer object name shorter if you can.

  • FTP: can't change directory to

    When I try to connect to my FTP Server, any user has the message:
    530 User xxxx: can't change directory to asdads/xxxx.
    I have also this message in System Log:
    Sep 13 10:58:24 hostname ftpd[7916]: FTP LOGIN FAILED (cannot chdir) for 01.user.isp.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), username
    I want that my users will connect to their own Home folders.
    Could anybody help me? I have no idea what could be wrong in my config.
    Thanx

    In Server Admin for the FTP Server, what are the Advanced Settings for the authenticated users? Do the authenticated users have access to their home directories enabled?
    If that's not it and the setting should allow access to the home directories, what path is the cd command targeting? If you're authenticated, then / (root) is typically set up as your login directory on the ftp server.
    If you're poking around at random directories, configuring and using ftp gets a bit more interesting. If access to share points is permitted, then there are symbolic links provided that allow you to cd over to the share points. But the paths can be (are) relative to and specific to how ftp server chooses to expose the local file system to the ftp client.
    (On a side note, ftp can also run afoul of network firewall settings and such, and can expose user and password information when used from untrusted or open networks. sftp can be a better choice in both regards.)

  • Deploy CR 10 from VS 2005 C#  fails to login on 2nd try

    Hi,
    I'm new to CR and .NET in general, but I've got a working app on my development m/c.  I built a setup project in .NET and deployed the app to our test lab.
    From there I was able to generate a report on my first request, but when I returned to the dialog that I use to collect parms and select the report I need I fail to login the CR (Oracle).
    To be clear, my app builds 4 different reports, from my m/c I ran successful display as many copies of those reports as I have tried.  But, on the test lab m/c I can request any (1)one of the 4 reports, but as soon as I request a 2nd one the app fails with the Login failed message.
    I've already included the CrystalReportsRedist2005_x85.msm merge module.
    Anyone have any ideas about how to solve this problems
    thanks.
    Danny
    For anyone dealing with connection problems and may be interested in how I've resolved my connection problems:
    It turns out that the problem wasn't in CR10 or the setup project.  It was with the ODBC connection to Oracle9i. My m/c has a later version of Oracle9i then the version on the m/c in the test lab (9.2.0.5.0 vs 9.2.01.0)
    The the temp fix is to revise the SQLNET.ORA file.  Eventually we will need to install Oracle patches to correct for the ORA-12154 TNS could not be resolved error.  This is going to be necessary for all client m/c's before going live.
    Good luck to anyone dealing with similar issues.

    Hi!
    I am having the same issue in Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3.0.
    I resolved it by increasing the memory in the setDomainEnv.sh
    MEM_ARGS="-Xms1G -Xmx1G"
    export MEM_ARGS
    MEM_PERM_SIZE="-XX:PermSize=384m"
    export MEM_PERM_SIZE
    MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE="-XX:MaxPermSize=384m"
    export MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE
    Anyway I don't know why this resolved it and why the exception is not a memory error. I have tested version 10.3.2 and it doesn't report this errors with the same memory assigned.

  • FTP Adapter Unable to change directory 'inputDir'

    Hi Varun,
    Review of the ftp protocol specification
    http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/
    http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/5_Declarative.html
    shows that LIST command
    LIST
    125, 150
    226, 250
    425, 426, 451
    450
    500, 501, 502, 421, 530
    does not have 550 code among the codes which are supposed to be returned by ftp server in response
    to ls command. So, it looks like the ftp server running on AIX platofrm violates the ftp protocol specification.
    As a result bpel ftp adapter returns an error and the process goes off-line.
    Solution:
    Apply patch 4508850.
    If for any reason the official patch does not work, then apply the patch manually using the following steps:
    1. Stop OC4J_BPEL
    2. Create the following directories:
    $O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound
    $O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\ftp\inbound
    3. Copy the following files
    FileSource.class, PollWork.class, FTPSource.class
    from the patch to
    $O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound\FileSource.class
    $O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound\PollWork.class
    $O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\ftp\inbound\FTPSource.class
    4. Restart OC4J_BPEL

  • User logins fail; admin login is okay

    I'm running 10.3.9 all the latest updates on a 1 Ghz DP G4 with 1Gig RAM.
    Admin login works fine; three user logins go nowhere... beachball just spins and I have to power off the comp to get out.
    If I log in as Admin user and switch to another login, password is accepted but the desktop remains blank.
    Running the comp in target mode, I can see the files of the various users.
    Disk Utility looses connection (as mentioned in another post), not certain if this is also an iTunes update issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    1Ghz DP G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    After following the information to move iTunes to the desktop, I was able to run Disk Utilities and repaired persmssions.
    However, there was no change in the ability for users to login. These users are managed, not standard.
    I reinstalled OS 10.3 in archive mode, checked logins (which were fine) and installed the 10.3.9 update. Logins are broken again.
    I can change the users to standard and they can login with no problem, but the moment I restrict anything (such as cannot change the dock) the logins fail.
    Changing the users to standard allows logins; make them managed and they fail.
    Certainly seems like a permissions issue, but repairing permissions does no good.
    Any suggestions other than doing a clean install?

  • Unable to save Unified Messaging PIN: Access to Active Directory Failed

    I'm trying to enable all of our users for Unified Messaging and I've created a powershell script for each of users I want to enable but I am getting an error message everytime I try and run it.
    Unable to save Unified Messaging PIN for mailbox 'smtp address': Access to Active Directory Failed
    Our setup is forest root domain and 2 child domains.  Most of the users are in the child domains and the Exchange server is in the forest root domain.
    I'm using -domaincontroller but this doesn't make a difference.  Here is the script I am using:
    Enable-UMMailbox -Identity [email protected] -UMMailboxPolicy "DefaultUM Default Policy" -Extensions 303 -PIN 1234 -SIPResourceIdentifier "[email protected]" -PINExpired $false -domaincontroller "rc-curdc-01.curriculum.riddlesdown.local"
    Can someone point out why this isn't working?

    I had the same experience as Gueetar. Couldn't enable a UM mailbox, or change the PIN. Got a generic "Access to Active Directory Failed" message instead of anything useful. Even went so far as enabled a ton of diagnostic logging, which didn't report anything
    useful.
    Of course, all the accounts I was enabling had the HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled property set to $true (these were old deactivated accounts I was using to test with). I found that setting it back to $false corrected the issue.
    Of course I didn't know it was that exact problem at the time. I only found a difference after disabling/re-connecting mailboxes (and of course newly created mailboxes exhibited no issues). Assuming this was going to be the case for all mailboxes this would
    be fine for testing and proof of concept, bad for production/implementation. Instead I ran a bunch of scenarios over two days, culminating in a crap load of LDIFDEs and DSACL dumps to enumerate the object properties and compare the values that were different.
    This property (HideFromALEnabled) and a few others stood out. Luckily it wasn't ACL-related - that would've been a complete head wreck!

  • Failed file login for admin

    In the app server log file, this keeps coming up. When I went to run my app in creator2, it prompted me the first time for the admin username and password, which I used the admin adminadmin values.

    You can try reseting the appserver.
    You can find a "utility/script/commandfile" in
    C:\Program Files\Sun\Creator2_1\bin
    C:\Program\Sun\Creator2_1\bin
    pe-start.bat -reset (there is a tiny dot in the filename here) for windows
    pe-start.sh -reset (there is a tiny dot in the filename here) for linux/unix
    !!!! If you have made any changes to the configuration files, make sure you make copies of the files, they will be lost. !!!!
    so that you can pull out the information from the old files, that probably has been corrupted and put them back in the new files.
    It might be that you have made incorrect changes in the config files or they have become corrupted.

  • Main account fails to login

    I am using a G4 iBook running OS X 10.4.10. I have already run repair permissions and the automated maintenance of Onyx.
    The main account I use, which is not an admin account, fails to login. My wife's account and the admin account both still works. What happens is that I select the account and type in the password. When I hit enter the password is highlighted and the "log in" and "back" buttons become disabled. However, the loading bar does not appear at all and no logging in happens. I have noticed that I can still re-enter the password but the buttons are still disabled. I have the restart the computer to get back to the login screen.
    This problem began immediately after the computer suddenly turned off while I was browsing the iTunes store.
    Message was edited by: Robert Monroe

    Two things to try, Robert. Go to System Preferences > Accounts and see if there is anything strange in your Login Items.
    Then boot from your Mac OS X install DVD and go to Disk Utility and run repair disk. You've already correctly run repair permissions (you do this while booted from your internal HD). But you have to boot from your install DVD to run repair disk. Somethin in your Mac's directory might have been disturbed when the computer suddenly turned off while you were using it. Repair disk is capable of fixing some of these problems.

  • "24427 Access to Active Directory failed" error in ACS 5.1

    Hello,
    I'm working on implementing a RADIUS authentication for wireless access with the following :
    - PCs running Windows 7, protocol used is PEAP (without validating the server certificate to make it simple at first),
    - AP 1252  configured to use a RADIUS server to authenticate (it's working good with an ACS server 4.2),
    - ACS Server 5.1.0.44.5 running as VM connected to an AD domain and working good with VPN connections,
    - AD domain running on Windows 2003 Server.
    My ACS VM is working good since a couple of months for VPN (RADIUS) and administration (TACACS) remote access, both using Active Directory. Now, I'd like to use it to authenticate people connecting to a 1252 Cisco access point but I'm getting this error "24427 Access to Active Directory failed". I switched from PEAP to LEAP but this is the same.
    All I can get running the expert troubleshoot

    hey there, I ran into the same issue with 5.3 and it turned out being this bug. i came across your post looking for instructions on retrieving the logs. thanks mate.
    link
    Problem: Error "24495 Active Directory servers are not available"
    Authentication starts failing with this error: 24495 Active Directory servers are not available. in the ACS 5.3 logs.
    Solution
    Check the ACSADAgent.log file through the CLI of the ACS 5.x for messages such as:Mar 11 00:06:06 xlpacs01 adclient[30401]: INFO base.bind.healing Lost connection to xxxxxxxx. Running in disconnected mode: unlatch. If you see the Running in disconnected mode: unlatch error message, this means the ACS 5.3 cannot maintain a stable connection with Active Directory. The workaround is to either switch to LDAP or downgrade the ACS to 5.2 version. Refer to Cisco bug ID CSCtx71254 (registered customers only) for more information.

  • Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'

    I want to grant permissions to all domain users to view reports on our Report Server. Domain users are able to access our Report Server URL and folder, but when they click on a report item they get an error message: 
    "Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'"

    Can someone please help how I should properly do this step by step to give all domain users permissions to view a report in SSRS?
    Thanks much! - Rookie DBA

    Hi IWAR,
    The error message "Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'" means the user 'USER LOGON' does not have permissions to access the "ReportServer" database.
    To fix this issue, please verify that the user has a valid database user login. For more details, please refer to the following steps.
    In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer and expand the Databases folder.
    Expand the database in which to create the new database user.
    Right-click the Security folder, point to New, and then click User.
    On the General page, enter a name for the new user in the User name box.
    In the Login name box, enter the name of a SQL Server login to map to the database user.
    Click OK.
