Hi,

I want to change the home directory of user when he login ,

For Example

After user A login he should be in /home/userb/test like that.

you can define a home directory with the -d option for useradd

Don't you actually mean that you want the user's default directory (Konqueror, Nautilus, shell) to be ~/test, instead of changing the very value of ~?

that's a simple 'man usermod'....

Code:

usermod -d new_dir userA

if you want to move his home instead of creating a new one:

Code:

usermod -d new_dir -m userA
