Hello,
I moved the homedirectories from one server to another.
Somehow the permissons got mixed up.
Is there anyway to check permissions?
It's probably the ownership rather than the permissions that has
changed. 'ls -l filename' will show you an example of who owns that
directory's files at the moment, then
chown -R newowner:groupname /path/to/directory/
should get you up and running again.

I can check easely owner and group but what I would like to find is a
script that checks the permissions. I remember, sorry to mention it, SCO
unix, they had a utility to check the entire installation.
Like for example .dmrc, in the home dir, need to have a 644 permission.
What permissions should the other .dir have, like .gnome, .evolution eso.
Most directories are very happy with 744 permissions. That would be mostly
what you want since 644 could present problems. The only directory that I
*know requires* a different permission is .ssh, where you'd need 700.
I did notice that you've convinced yourself that your problems are related
to permissions and don't seem interested to explore other possibilities.
AFAIK, you also didn't mention exactly *how* you moved the home directories.
