SAM home directory default - how to change?

David White — Tue, 07 Nov 2000 14:20:04 GMT

The default in SAM is to place all new users home directories under /home.

Where is this defaulting from? We'd like to change this so it automatically defaults to a mounted area we have created called /users.

Can anyone advise how this is achieved?

Thanks

Dave

While in sam go to users and under actions you can create user templates

the file you are looking for is called useradd in /etc/default. Modify the variable HOMEDIR variable in the file /etc/default/useradd and viola!

Good luck

You can change the basedir using useradd alone (no editing involved):

# useradd -D -b /users

Check your user defaults by running: # useradd -D

Edit your /etc/defaults and chage your BASEDIR from /home to /users.

Check your defaults again by running: # useradd -D and create a user if possible.
