1.so even though i deleted my .profile file from where it is getting created automatically?
2. If we create some user and later change his home directory to some other directory.. here in my case i changed user home dir to a mount point.. still his login works .. how??? when user tries to login he would intially land up into his home dir and the .profile file present in home dir would be loaded right? but when i change home dir .profile would be present in the old location only. so if edit the old location would i feel the difference in new location. if yes please let me know how.
