I've just re-installed 9.1 after the first ever self destruct of Linux I've had. My /home directory was on a separate partition so I re- used it. Since then I've not been able to run any executable binary file within my home directory. These all ran before on the old installation. Whenever I try to run them from the console I get the following message Permission denied. I've tried running logged in as a user and as root with the same effect. If I copy the programs directory to a location outside of /home then the program runs just as it should. I can't find any difference when I check against another system but that's running 8.0. Does any know if things changed on the move to 9.1 and if so how can I get these programs to run again.
Your base user is renumbered from 500 to 1000. Recreate your users their folders will be found in /home and you will be prompted to change ownership and reuse them. Do this and use your files and programs. CWSIV
