You really need to find out with what permissions /home/john has been created with and have your system administrator adjust them accordingly.

The internet - allowing those who don't know what they're talking about to have their say.
 
May also want to look at any zone or mount issues.

In other words, what is the output of:

Code:
ls -ld /home /home/john
mount -v | grep home
