Bucher) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc,comp.unix.bsd.misc,comp.unix.questions Subject: shell-init: could not get current directory... Date: 22 Jun 1995 20:51:15 GMT Organization: Michigan Technological University Lines: 22 Message-ID: <3scl43$1tv@news.mtu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pacemaker.cts.mtu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] A user on my system is having a problem logging into his account. I su'd to him and this is what was printed on the screen to me. shell-init: could not get current directory: permission denied cd didn't work either (without an argument) it said: cd cd_links: could not get current directory: permission denied so I cd'd .. and then did another cd to get _back_ into his mhome directory, and everything then worked fine after cd .. i checked the pwd, and it was the directory above his home, so I assume I was in his home directory when I had the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks, Boo
