Title: creating users in directory other than /users?
Post by: pmceache on July 02, 2008, 03:43:27 PM

Is there a way to create users in different directories other than USERS? In a school environment it would be nice to be able to add & delete users & home directories by graduating year. Can LAT be configured to install users into /home/e-smith/files/users/students08, /home/e-smith/files/users/students09, /home/e-smith/files/users/Staff , ect.....

How about starting the username with the year they started in? You can then (easily) remove users starting with the two digits of the starting year...
