As root edit the /etc/passwd file. Every user entry in there has 7 fields, each separated by a colon ( : ). The fields are in the following order. UserID Encrypted Passwd (x is shadow passwds are used) UID GID User Information (optional) Path to home directory Login Shell First boot in single user mode. Create the directory in the desired location. Change the permissions on the folder appropriately. Copy all files & directories (including hidden files & directories) to the new directory. Change the sixth field of the /etc/passwd entry to point to the desired location. Test the new settings. Delete the old home directory. -- Registered Linux User #374218 Minister of Offense, Preserver of the Way of the Great Llama, Ambassador to India for the Republic of Loungevania -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
