OK. With the :0:0 field in the user1 line in passwd fileI finally logged in as
a user. But...

Simply nothing. The same message appears on the screen:"Not directory
/home/user1"
I tried to create a directory /user1 to make sure that the problem
is not with only /home and change corresponding part in the

Must I contact the X-FILE ?
Thanks!
