[Solved] Linux user location/directoires
Hi,
I need to create a user. I know it sounds simple but I'm having a slight issue with it. For example I want to create user1 with home location of /home/projects/user1. I went ahead and created the projects directory using mkdir under /home, and using vi I created the user1 directory under /projects, but whenever I use the ls -l command to check the structure, the user1 shows under home and nothing under /home. I'm not sure What I'm doing wrong.
Also if I wanted to create a directory under user1, should I simply type: mkdir /home/projects/user1/usrdir ??? Is there a better or simpler way?
I still a newbie, so please if anyone could point me at the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

MKDIC(1) General Commands Manual MKDIC(1)
NAME
mkdic - Tool for creating a user dictionary
SYNOPSIS
mkdic [{-cs|-cannaserver} canna-server] [-s] [- | -l local-file] remote-dic
DESCRIPTION
mkdic creates user dictionary named remote-dic in the user dictionary directory of the remote host, on which cannaserver(1M) is in opera-
tion. Dictionary file name remote-dic is assigned to this file at this time.
If the - and -l option isn't specified, mkdic creates an empty dictionary.
If the - option is specified, the standard input will be used as the dictionary file. If the -l option is specified, local-file will be
used as the dictionary file.
If the user dictionary directory does not exist, it will be created.
Dictionary directory file -- dics.dir -- is rewritten automatically after the registering. The registered dictionary can thus be used by
writing the dictionary name into the customize file.
OPTIONS
-cs canna-server (or -cannaserver canna-server)
Specifies the server machine that contains the dictionary to be created.
-s Indicates that the dictionary to be created is an adjunct dictionary. If this option is omitted, the dictionary will be cre-
ated as an independent-word one.
-l local-file
Registers the input data from local-file.
- The standard input will be used as the dictionary file.
EXAMPLES(1) If you want to creat an empty dictionary file:
% mkdic test(2) If you want to register the input data from the standard input:
% mkdic test -
Registers the input data from the standard input, in the user dictionary directory under dictionary name ``test''. The following line is
then added to dictionary directory file -- dics.dir -- :
user1.t(.mwd) -test-(3) If the dictionary file is specified:
% mkdic test -l test1.t
Registers independent-word dictionary file ``test1.t'' in the remote host's user dictionary directory under dictionary name ``test''. The
following line is then added to dics.dir:
user1.t(.mvd) -test-
user1.t is a dictionary file name generated automatically by the system.
