- Thank you everyone who responded to my problem with shell-init: Permission
- denied. It *WAS* a permission problem with /. chmod 0755 / fixed it
- completely.
-
- To those who suggested that permissions were wrong on the user's home
- directory (about 12 people). If that had been the problem, it wouldn't
- have been a problem. I know I said I was a dork, but on a 1-5 scale of
- dorkness, I probably only rate a 2, rather than a 5. But wrong permissions
- on / . . . I don't think I would *ever* have worked that one out for myself.
- Thank you all.
