I would recommend /usr/people/username, just like on SGI IRIX ;) I would just change the paths to the "home" directories in /etc/passwd. If there is a "useradd" program or script, it should have a command line switch to specify the home directory path. The man page for the version used on my RH Linux box has a -D switch to set the default value for the command line switches, so you don't have to use a "useradd -d home_dir" switch each time you envoke the command. The initial users set by the install script might have to be changed, or left until after the install is done. -- Charles Dostale [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Administrator, Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street, Moline IL USA 61265 309-797-9898 -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
