I have recently bound a computer to a domain. The original user folder had a _ separating first and last name now the new account crated has a . to separate name. After logging into the new account I moved to original data into the new account. In the new bound account i'm unable to touch in the account received permission denied. I have reset the account to 755 group level. Any suggestions on how to gain access to write to write to home folder.

Thanks,

Jon Yung

It's not clear what "./" is referring to -- that just means the current working directory, which could be anything, really. I made the assumption that your current working directory is the user's home.

What is "./"? `pwd` will tell you.
