your home directory is mislabeled.
I thought as much.
what does matchpathcon return:
matchpathcon /home/benites
/home/benites system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0
does user benites have a home directory and login shell specified, what is benites uid/gid?
grep benites /etc/passwd
Sorry, I knew I forgot something. We use LDAP and Kerberos for authentication so I do not have a entry in /etc/passwd. On another system where I use local password authentication and is also running RHEL 6:
[benites@host2 ~]$ grep benites /etc/passwd benites:x:500:100:Robert K. Benites:/home/benites:/bin/bash [benites@host2 ~]$ ls -ldZ /home/benites drwxr-xr-x. benites users unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 /home/benites
I thought adding the context user_home_dir_t on my home directory on the host where I'm having problems would solve the problem -- something suggested in one of the posts I read, but I was unsuccessful at doing that.
