Badlop, Sorry for this belated response....other things took precedence

I am running Mandrake 10 with Erlang/OTP R10B-4 and I created a test user and successfully ran erl. What should I do next?

So the problem appears when Erlang is started by the system instead of a regular user. I tried to emulate your problem in Debian GNU/Linux sid with Erlang/OTP R10B-4 creating a new system user with no home, and I found no problems:

$ sudo adduser --no-create-home
...
Adding new group `bobo2' (1004).
Adding new user `bobo2' (1004) with group `bobo2'.
Not creating /home/bobo2.
...
$ su bobo2
Password:
bobo2:/home$ echo $HOME

bobo2:/home$ erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.4.5 [source] [hipe]

Eshell V5.4.5  (abort with ^G)

What Erlang version? What operating system? Try what I did, does it succeed?

my earlier post was too hasty

my earlier post was too hasty. It had worked without errors when I ran /etc/rc.local from the console logged in as root and the error message didn't show up in the logs. The error message however reappeared when I rebooted the server and ejabberd still does not run automatically

I still need help

Thanks...that worked.

Did you try to set the HOME system variable? Just add HOME=/home/kodion or whatever after ERL=... on that script.
