Hi,
I've just made a fresh install following the Beginners Guide, and after rebooting into Arch everything is ok if I login as root, but attempting to login as any other user gives me an error like:
-- user: /home/user: change directory failed: Permission denied
output of ls -l /home/ gives:
drwx------ 2 user users 4096 Feb 17 06:30 user
Help!

Perhaps something wrong with /home itself?
Please show the output of
ls -ld /home

Hey, thanks for the reply
ls -ld /home gives:
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 17 06:38 /home
Offline
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 17 06:38 /home
Seems to be ok.
I can reproduce your error message when I do a chmod a-rwx /home/user but with 0700 as you wrote the login works.
Other wild guesses (with no profound knowledge from my side): Is the /home dir mounted from somewhere? Could it be some (misconfigured) security framework (selinux, AppArmor etc.) that blocks access to the home dir?

Thanks for the help fellas (was ext4 btw), I ended up reinstalling arch and everything is running smoothly. Maybe I screwed something up the first time round *shrug*
