Unable to log in (home folder permissions)
The technology department head at my school gave me a brand new iMac out of the box to dual-boot Ubuntu.
Okay so on this computer at school (a really nice one) i made two accounts, nnhs, and admin. The problem is, i made admin first, and i made the home folder /nnhs, then i made the nnhs account and realized it could log in because they shared a home folder. So i created a /admin home folder but i couldn't log in because it was empty.
From this point on i'm working from the LiveCD. I coped all of the contents of /nnhs to /admin but i have to make sure that /nnhs is owned by nnhs and that /admin is owned by admin. I also have to make sure that either user can't write to the opposite user's home folder. I also have to make sure the permissions are correct for both .dmrc files - can anyone help me sort this out?
