Could not chdir to home directory

Dear HPC team,

Username: henrymi2
Cluster: Yggdrasil

When connecting to the login node (ssh command), the following error is shown :

Could not chdir to home directory /home/users/h/henrymi2: Permission denied
-bash: /home/users/h/henrymi2/.bash_profile: Permission denied

Steps to Reproduce

(Macbook with zsh shell)

> ssh henrymi2@login1.yggdrasil.hpc.unige.ch
> (henrymi2@login1.yggdrasil.hpc.unige.ch) Password:
...
monitoring and documentation: http://baobab.unige.ch
 support: hpc@unige.ch
Could not chdir to home directory /home/users/h/henrymi2: Permission denied
-bash: /home/users/h/henrymi2/.bash_profile: Permission denied
(yggdrasil)-[henrymi2@login1 /]$

Expected Result

I am a newbie but I guess after login I should have access to my directory and be able (from my mac) to send files to my home directory using scp without having the error Permission denied.

Thank you in advance

Michail

Hello,

The owner of the home directory was not set correctly. This is now corrected for you, I will check what cause the issue.

Best,
