Dale,

   As far as I can tell.

   Yep.

   I can log in as root, I can cd to /home/rshepard and see nothing there,
but ... as I wrote earlier, even a brand new user produces the same results.

   So, ... I'll start over again with the third installation. The first
worked just fine until I screwed the pooch on it so this time I'll even
repartition using cfdisk just in case something's screwy with the /home
partition. That would certainly explain the problem. As a matter of fact,
that must be the reason. Stay tuned for details after the next iteration.

Thanks for replying,

Rich
