Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-05-27 10:47:48 UTC 
I somehow locked myself out of my home. Maybe through misuse of chown or chmod whilst my home was mounted at /media/freefall with sshfs.

Now: 

…
Could not chdir to home directory /home/grahamperrin: Permission denied

Hi.

Before:

drw-------     5 grahamperrin   devel            11B May 27 10:29 grahamperrin

After:

drwx------     5 grahamperrin   devel            11B May 27 13:04 grahamperrin


Give it a try now.

Regards.

Thanks!

I changed the mode to 755, matching what appears to be the norm (compared with three other homes):

grahamperrin@freefall:~ % chmod 755 /home/grahamperrin
grahamperrin@freefall:~ % ls -dhl /home/grahamperrin
drwxr-xr-x  5 grahamperrin  devel    11B May 27 13:04 /home/grahamperrin
grahamperrin@freefall:~ %

Just be curious, I think it's able to change the permission yourself as you're still the owner of that directory. And in the cluster we store ssh public keys in another location so it should be still able to login.

AFAIR I could log in, but not change the mode, which did surprise me.
