Home directory not available

[Derkades]

I have a user with user id 33 group id 33. Files are configured with mode 600 and directories with mode 700, all owned by 33:33. It this works fine, except that the user home directory needs group rx permissions (750) or logging in will fail:

Response:	331 User user_1 OK. Password required
Command:	PASS ******************************
Response:	421 Home directory not available - aborting

That seems like a bug, surely user rx permissions should be enough, since the user I am logging in with is configured with the same uid as the file owner?

Only the home directory needs to be 750, all files and directories inside can be 600/700 and allow reading/writing just fine.

Hey @Derkades
Not sure about that sorry, quickly checked and looks like you might be fine with 710 (only x needed for the group).
My guess is pure-ftpd needs this itself to check the folder first.
