Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to add user on Embedded System Post 302101987 by Perderabo on Saturday 6th of January 2007 10:54:47 PM

There are several standards whether /home/siegfried or /home/user/siegfried doesn't matter. But you need to pick something and stick with it. Do this command:
grep siegfried /etc/passwd
to see where the system thinks the directory should be. And siegfried should own his home directory.
chown siegfried /home/user/siegfried

There are differing standards on permissions...my choice:
chmod 755 /home/user/siegfried

Just remember that the directory must agree with what is in /etc/passwd.
