No permission if I look as gene(me)

Now, I do have a /home/nut
ls -l /home
root at coyote:Daily$ ls -l /home

Something back in time forced me to give amanda a passwd, so as root "su 
amanda -c "command works" but nut is empty so that doesn't work now:

nut:x:121:125::/var/lib/nut:/bin/false

Is this where I need to fix it? With a passwd nut as root?

Thanks Roger.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
