Hi all,

I had been trying to log in from my client machine in to the ldap+samba3.3
server machine, but i could not log on to the ldap+samba3.3 server machine
successfully. Everytime i tried to log on, it popped-up with three dialog
boxes one after another showing the messages as shown below inlcuded in
double quotes:

The first pop-up dialog box displayed the following messages in it:-

"Your home directory is listed as :'home/xxxx' but it does not appear to
exist. Do you  want to log in with the / (root) directory...... " with YES
and NO buttons.
After clicking on the YES button, the second pop-up window displayed  the
following messages:-"User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents
the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by
user and have 644 permissions...."

After clicking on the OK button, the third box has shown the following lines
:- \

"Your session only lasted less than  10 seconds. If you have not logged  out
yourself, this could mean some installtion problem or that you may be out of
disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you
can fix this problem." It had also a check box associated with a combo box
with a many messages as listed below:
The chk box was ticked and had a label displaying "View Details
(~/.session-errors file).

Can any body let me know, how tom resolve these issues of permission denied
?


Pleasss help me in this
Regards........................................................
