Tru64 Account Manager deletes home directories without warning
If a user's home directory is changed using the Account Manager (dxaccounts) the original directory is deleted without warning. For example, should I change an account's home directory from "/data0/users/user1" to "/data0/users/user2", the 'users1' directory ceases to exit when I save the change. This did not happen under v5.1A (I checked). Partially entering a path to an existing directory is dangerous, as finishing off the path later deletes everything (other user accounts included) from that point downwards.
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening or at least to get it to ask for permission to delete the directory?

Re: Tru64 Account Manager deletes home directories without warning
The explained problem is not listed within the bug-list so it seems unknown. Report this problem to your local support center and ask for a fix.
A workaround is to use the dxaccounts binary from 5.1A, have you tested this version on 5.1B?

Re: Tru64 Account Manager deletes home directories without warning
I copied the dxaccounts binary from another server that is still running v5.1A. It did the same thing. I retested this situation on the server running v5.1A Patch Kit 04 and it left the original directories intact as you would expect.
I'll ring and report it.

Re: Tru64 Account Manager deletes home directories without warning
did you just want to report the bug, or were you also looking for a workaround? If so, you could use usermod -d "newhome" "username" as an alternative. It also supports moving the files with -m.
just curious,
Michael
