Could not chdir to home directory: Permission denied

[Wanderley Teixeira]

I installed the server and client (with --mkhomedir) without issues.
I created a user and tried to ssh and got this error creating directory

ssh [e-mail]
Password:

Could not chdir to home directory /home/user1: Permission denied
-sh: /home/user1/.profile: Permission denied
-sh-4.2$

Any idea what the problem could be here?

Hey Wanderley,

Is there any chance that you had a local user on the client machine with a UID different than the one provided by FreeIPA?
If yes, try to remove the local user and change the ownership of the home directory.

Cheers,

If you are mounting the file system with kerberos, mkhomedir wont’ work. I have a Kerberized mkhomedir if that’s your issue.
