I copied all files (?) from /home/user to /home2/user. Changed /etc/passwd for user to point to /home2/user. I tested the setup by opening a terminal and doing an su user & was prompted for the password for user and logged on, no problems. The pwd command did indeed show the correct new directory (/home2/user) Rebooted my system and logged in as user with the GUI, All ok except I was still pointing to /home/user NOT /home2/user! What did I do wrong???? Did the command sudo cp -a /home/user /home2/user not work correctly? NOTE: user did not exist in /home2 initially. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Jay Ridgley <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jridgley2@austin.rr.com">jridgley2@austin.rr.com</a> Registered Linux User ID - 9115 </pre> </body> </html>
