Hi guys,
I'm new to this list, so I hope I'm not flogging a dead horse here, but
after an upgrade from 5.1 Release to 5.2.1 Release (i386) I encountered
a weird thing: when being root, and creating users using the pw command
as follows:
pw useradd testusr -g testgrp -s /bin/sh
No home directory gets created (whereas a home directory was properly
created when doing this under 5.1 Release). Then, when I try to fix this
afterwards by doing:
pw usermod testusr -d /usr/home/testusr
I get the message:
pw: WARNING: home `/usr/home/testusr' does not exist
This, in itself, is already weird, of course. Manually creating the
directory /usr/home/testusr and then trying the pw command doesn't work
either (neither when the directory is owned by root, nor when it's owned
by testusr:testgrp) ?!?
More bizarrely so, when adding a user using sysinstall, it all works
fine. Go figure...?!?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers!
Olafo
