Thanks Larry,

I'm not sure, if I got the message ... I think, that you think ;-) that 
the problem is, that my home dir belongs to admins (which was 
administrators or Administratoren before) instead of admin.

When I chown my home dir to admin, ls looks better, but it doesn't 
change anything.

That's what I did:

---
$ chown admin .

admin AT CIABATTA ~
$ pwd
/home/admin


admin AT CIABATTA ~
$ echo "some dumb string" > testfile
bash: testfile: Permission denied

admin AT CIABATTA ~
$ ls -la
total 0
drwxrwxrwx    2 admin    Kein            0 Apr  8 15:11 .
drwxrwxrwx    4 admin    Kein            0 Apr  8 15:11 ..

Hmmm?

Btw., the behaviour doesn't come after shortening names in the 
passwd file. It's absolutely the same with the default long names.

Ciao   Ulrich.
