I have tried changing permissions and I have looked for a solution, but the error still exists.In fact it gives me a different error every time I log in.

Could not chdir to home directory /home/rb27: Permission denied

here is a snippet of what I get when I use the command ls -al:

drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 0 Sep 8 18:28 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Feb 5 2011 ..
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? ajd74
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? ban45
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? rb27

I cannot log in as root since the permission is denied Please help

Not enough information here. How is the filesystem mounted? What has changed since the last time you logged in? Is this your personal system, do you have root access? – OldWolf – 2011-09-09T03:03:15.507

I don't have root privileges. I use the ssh secure client and it was working fine. I don't know what happened then – ria – 2011-09-09T03:11:50.470

You'll want to contact your systems administrator. – OldWolf – 2011-09-09T03:13:48.640

Will take note of that – None – 2011-09-09T00:31:41.113

By the way, the people on Stack Overflow told you to ask here, but then they moved your question here. This lead to a double post, so in the future, please only post once and let the migration take care of it! Thanks! – slhck – 2011-09-09T08:17:17.850

from your boot loader, give the following parameter to your Linux kernel:

init=/bin/sh

or 

init=/bin/bash

Then go fix your permissions. You'll probably need to run fsck too.

init: Need to be root. This is the output I get. The command i used is chmod 755 /home/rb27.Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong – None – 2011-09-09T00:16:35.473
