Hi guys,
i have on a virtual machine a SUSE8 Enterprise server version.
After the installation i try to create an user with the command useradd.
This is the line command:
useradd pippo -d /home/pippo
After the creation of the user pippo i try to execute the command su
but i have this error:
su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/pippo: No such file or directory
Anyone can help me to resolve the problem????
I so that there is a graphic mode to do the same action but its interesting to know why the operative system doesn't create the home directory specified with the -d parameter
