SAM home directory default - how to change?

[David White]

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

[Kofi ARTHIABAH · Accepted solution]

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

go to SAM -> Accounts for Users and Groups -> Users-> Actions -> User Templetes-> Create

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.
