SAM add account problem

[j773303]

When using SAM to create a account. If assing home directory '/users/ftp/./common' , it shows the below message. Does anyone has any ideas? Thanks in advanced.

NOTE:
OS: 11.11
/users/ftp/common was alreday exist.
SAM patch and useradd patch are latest


SAM message:
============
Failed to add the user "a94366". An invalid argument was supplied to an option in the command "/usr/sam/lbin/useradd.sam". The output from this command was: '/users/ftp/./common' is not a valid directory.

Why do not just give correct path??

/users/ftp/common

Is there a directory called,

/users/ftp/./common available?

ls -ld /users/ftp/./common

If it is available, May be it is used by some other user?

Hi,

if u want to create an user under the directory /users/ftp/common, the best procedure to create an user is as follows..

#cd /users/ftp/common
#mkdir ( for example user name is test)
#useradd -d /users/ftp/common\test -s /usr/bin/ksh test (user name)
#passwd test
enter the password for the user test.
#chmod -d 755 test ( according to the permission u want to set for the user)
#chown test:others test (other is the default group name)

it should work fine..

Due to configre as annoymous ftp, and not allow user switch to another dierctory during ftp. Hence configure user home direcotry in /users/ftp/./common

Currently there're many user use the same home directory (users/ftp/./common), but it can not add user throgh SAM now, due to SAM indicated the /users/ftp/./common not invalid.

So, I set the /users/ftp/common in SAM, then modify the /etc/passwd becoming /usrs/ftp/./common

Do you have other suggestion, how to fix this problem?
