Could not chdir to home directory /home/nsc: Permission denied

Could not chdir to home directory /home/nsc: Permission denied /bin/bash: Permission denied Connection to 192.168.1.13 closed. After creating lxc container, I wasn’t able to connect to it as a simple user. Also couldn’t change to simple user using “su”.


All I got was an error:

Could not chdir to home directory /home/nsc: Permission denied
/bin/bash: Permission denied
Connection to 192.168.1.13 closed.

All permissions of home directory were correct, as to be 100% sure, deleted user and created again. Still the same problem.

The problem was / permissions.
It was 700, so simple user couldn’t change to any directory.

Small fix to make it working (with root user)

chmod 755/

And that’s it, user is working!!!
