SAM Default Configuration

[Mark Watson_2]

I have create a SAN location for all of my users home directories and i need to update SAM so that it points to that location in stead of /home when you open the user add dialog box. i have searched all over the web and have not been able to locate any doc on this. can anyone help??

Hi Mark,

I can not verify if below information is still accurate for HPUX 11i at the moment, but you can at least have a look yourself.

Defaults for user accounts created without a template come from the file /usr/sam/lib/C/ug.ui. Search the file for the string "default"; it should be apparent which ones set account attribute defaults. You can change them with a text editor, and the new values will be in effect the next time you run SAM. Note that some defaults (e.g., the home directory base) appear in more than one place within the file. Obviously, you'll need to be careful when editing this file. Copy the original before you edit so that you'll have a recovery path should something break.
