I have just done a clean f9 install on a laptop where the user areas are on a separate partition (/opt/Local/home) on the HD. Having left SELinux on after the install I did my usual post-install change of doing as root: cd / mv home home.dist ln -s /opt/Local/home . Now /home is a symlink to /opt/Local/home I can now login as a normal user..... BUT If I now ssh into the machine from another machine on the network I find that I cannot get the home directory for that user! The message is: Last login: Wed Jul 23 21:32:14 2008 from bla.bla.com Could not chdir to home directory /home/username: Permission denied [username@localhost /]$ I am presuming that this is an SELinux denial... even though it does not say so explicitely. I have read that there are difficulties with symlinks in SELinux and I wondered if someone who has been through this could advise? I have heard that replacing a symlink with a bind mount will make an improvement - i.e. make a new directory /home and then bind mount it from /opt/Local/home Presumably this would need an entry in fstab to make it work at boot? If so what is the appropriate fstab line? Thanks in advance. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
