/home/iraf directory, e.g. it was created by root and isn't readable by
anyone else. To change the permissions use 'chmod', e.g. chmod 755 /home/irafwill grant the proper permissions on the directory. Do this as root if
that's who owns the files, otherwise as the owner. Note the
subdirectories may be similarly affected, use the command chmod -R g+r,o+r /home/irafto recursively grant read permission to the directory tree.Cheers,
