That shouldn't be a problem, but /home is normally owned by
root.staff with permissions 2775 (rwxrwsr-x). With your current
permissions, anyone could create new directories under /home, which
is generally not a good thing unless you're the system's only user.

The "total 120" includes the 60 from the parent directory. Adding
that to the rest of the entries should give about the right number of
blocks used.

Again, unless this is a single-user box, all the mode 777 directories
are troubling.

User avh doesn't work because nobody has permission to enter his home
directory - including himself. `chmod ug+x /home/avh` should fix this.

The numbers listed for owner on these directories mean that the
owning user no longer exists. I don't recall whether they were on
your 'users who can't log in' list, but you generally can't log in if
you don't exist...
