hi guys
i have strange situation here
before me there was an employe that used to add user's to the sever but i am not sure how, because i cannot see anybody's user directory but they do exist and they are able to log in normally.
for example a user called "mjordan" is able to log an have a mail boxe on /var/mail
but i am not able to find where is his home directory with the command:
'# find / -name mjordan'

also when i try to add it with the command:
useradd -c "Michael Jordan" -d /export/home/mjordan -m mjordan

it says that it already exists to try a new one.
but i can't find mjordan anywhere on export/home.

how can i redirect the user home directory and inbox mail without having him changing password?

thnx

Have you just cat /etc/passwd? That's where the home directory for every user is recorded...

no i didn't
am gonna chekc it out

I guess the home directories are NFS automounted in /home, the reason why they do not appear with a find at least when the user isn't logged in.
Not every user. Entries can also be recorded in the NIS, NIS+ or a LDAP directory server.

i realize what happened
the user was created without a home directory assigned to
all i did is to use the 'usermod' command -d ( directory)
it's all good now
thnx guy for helping

i have one more question
i am using apache2 for my web server and running openwebmail.
the index directory is on .../cgi-bin/openwebmail/
on my browser when i put the address as edited on my httpd.conf - servername
i just get the contents of htdocs
so i copied all the /cgi-bin/openwebmail directory to htdocs...but it's just showing the contents again but not the login name page as if i put on the address bar : http://(localhost)/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail.pl
so basically it's running the perl file to get the login name...
so how can i change the address to have : localhost.com instead of localhost/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail.pl ?
