no, the passwd is account file, i need use asd login,and default directory to change $/usr/lib/ .not to change account.

The home directory is the 6th field of /etc/passwd -- you'll need to change that to change the directory the user starts in on login.

If by "default directory" you really mean "home directory", /etc/passwd is the file to modify.

"$/usr/lib" is a syntax error, I guess you mean "/usr/lib".
/usr/lib is certainly a wrong location for some user home directory, as it is certainly not writeable by 'asd'.

Please clarify your needs.

Perhaps usermod -d /usr/lib/tt asd? Do a "man usermod" for detailed explanation
