LART your admin :-) and be sure he/she corrects that to read the "real" homedir instead... (well, you could just use / as your home, but I guess your admin didn't give you rights to write stuff there...) All the details in "man 5 passwd". For obvious reasons, specifying your home dir from SSH client side upon connection is not possible. Otherwise, a lot of public keys for the root account would be lingerin' around in /tmp, I guess ;-) -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
