: Your first problem sounds hardly like an improper-set-permissions-problem.
: Check the following:

: 1. who owns the login-dir of your user? (must be owned by that user)

: 2. who owns the files .profile , .bash_profile , .bashrc , etc. in the user's login-dir?

: 3. do the init-files have the permissions rwx for the owner?

: 4. do your user's login-dir has the permissions rwx for the owner?

: 5. are the binaries readable by the world?

: 6. do the dirs in which the binaries reside have the permissions drwxr-xr-x ?

: hope that helps

  Login dir's are owned by the user,if they have .profile etc it is theirs.
The /bin /usr/bin /etc are accessable by users as is /home and their directorys.
Init sh bash passwd etc are all executable by anyone. I know this sounds like
a permissions problem but everything runs it is not really denying permission.
And why menu causes core dumps for a non-root user makes even less sense.
I really think its a bug in the new sls kernal.
