I'm pretty sure the 'x' bit must be set on any directory, (at least mine is 700). as I recall on directories without the x bit set can't be read or written to (I actually had that once on a vfat partition, acted very screwy) Scott
I just chmoded /home/user to 700 (as I see that my new user has permissions set to 700), and now I can log in. Thank you! I also had to chown and chgrp everything in /home/user to user, as they were all owned by 1000. Thank you very much for the tip. Good thinking!
