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.
What is the ownership of the 'gun' directory. Do a list (ls -lF) on /home and check ownership of gun. If it is root that explains your problems. It should belong to the user, which I presume is 'gun.' The command for changing ownerships is chmod. Just a check. You do realise that home directories for a user account by name 'user' is at the location '/home/user' and not at '/home' ?? Michael.
