I have an Arch OpenVZ VPS from fsckvps.com
They installed Arch 0.8 (2007) initially, had a tough time upgrading it. But after all that, now I'm facing a very weird problem.
I can create users using useradd -m, but when it comes to su -l dummy, it says permission denied to the home directory (cannot change to /home/dummy).
I checked all permissions, its OK, and also tried chmod 777 to /home/dummy: no success.
/bin/su is executable: -r-sr-xr-x 1 root root 33920 Apr 29 12:15 /bin/su
The support pointed me to this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85184
but I could not find any information applicable to my server there.
Could someone help me ?
It is urgent.

Fixed it by issuing following commands:
chmod -R 775 /
chmod -R 1777 /tmp
chmod -R 775 proc
chmod -R 750 rootOffline
