try this:
Code:
ls -ld /home/xyz1

This will show the permissions on the xyz1 directory: e.g., drwxr-x---
The last red bit has to be at least --x.

AS root try:
Code:
cd /home
chmod +x xyz1

Thanks for reply
In this method all other users will also be able to access that xyz1 directory . I only want for particular user
Now what I find we can add user to the xyz1 users's group as following way
Quote:
useradd -G {group-name of xyz1} username
