This one. For each user, there is a home directory created under
/home/e-smith/files/users/
On the e-smith server, you can look at the file /etc/passwd to see the home
directory for any given user.

We don't talk about the home directory in the user manual because for probably
99% of the e-smith servers out there, users do NOT actually login to the
server and access the Linux prompt. They connect to the e-smith server through all the
other means like file sharing and HTTP. So we have tried to keep the manual
as simple as possible and not delve into all the fun you can have at the Linux
prompt. The mantra has been - "simplicity in the manual, complexity in the
HOWTOs". Having said that, of course, no one has yet written a HOWTO that
mentions setting up a user account for shell access on the server, which could
include mention of the home directory. (I'll add it to the wishlist.)
I wish you success getting Listar going. I am also involved with the Linux
Professional Institute (http://www.lpi.org/ ) and we use Listar for all of our
lists. It has worked out well.
Unfortunately, I don't know the answers to your qmail questions.
Regards,
Dan
