Internet browsing by normal users

[RQ]

Hi,
Have set up network interfaces on eth0 and was successfully able to browse the internet.

But this is only if I log-in as "root". Normal user gets error "Permission denied" when trying to browse. Any idea why?

Probably normal users does not have rights to execute the application that you are using for browsing.
Try a chmod on that!

Anyway, have recreated the account and eventually did not have any problem at all.
Am still using Mozilla.

Thanks anyway for your advice.

Probably prior to re-creation the user didn't have a home directory.

If the user doesn't have a home directory, but has that variable set in its profile, the browser will attempt to create its cache and bookmark files.

Since only root can create new directories in a properly secured /home filesystem that would explain your issue post mortem.

Good Luck,
