Hi there,<br>
<br>
Upgrading to Fedora Core 4 from an old server running Red Hat
7.3. I'm moving accounts over by hand, and I'm having the
following error crop up for *everyone*.<br>
<br>
chdir(/home/BLAH) failed with uid 500: Permission denied<br>
<br>
Now, that UID is correct, the user has that access, and there are no
permissions problems changing to that directory. I've got the
mail in /var/mail/XXX for each user as a simple mbox.<br>
<br>
I was browsing through the code to check for what *exactly* dovecot is
doing when it's trying to change directory there. The error
reporting is a bit spotty. It could be that it can't change to
that directory (unlikely). It could be that something in that
path is a problem (also unlikely, as the /home directory is world
readable and executable), or, it could have something to do with a file
or directory it's trying to create. I'm not sure. Could
someone let me in on what files or directories that dovecot tries to
create by default? This permission denied error doesn't make any
sense (I created a brand new user with nothing there, made all of his
directories readable/writeable, and executable by EVERYONE, and it
STILL gives me this error.<br>
