I am trying to create a directory in my 'home' directory with my user login. However I can only create a directory as a root user and thus can't use it with my user login. I can use the 'gun' directory in 'home' with my user login. Any help would be appreciated. [gun(a)LinuxBox home]$ mkdir adelle mkdir: cannot create directory `adelle': Permission denied [gun(a)LinuxBox home]$ su Password: [root(a)LinuxBox home]# mkdir adelle [root(a)LinuxBox home]# exit exit [gun(a)LinuxBox home]$ ls -ld drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 12 08:55 . [gun(a)LinuxBox home]$ cd gun [gun(a)LinuxBox gun]$ ls -ld drwx------ 25 gun gun 4096 May 12 08:54 . [gun(a)LinuxBox gun]$ cd .. [gun(a)LinuxBox home]$ ls -ld adelle drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 12 08:55 adelle [gun(a)LinuxBox home]$
