An example for a user that doesn't have the home in /home: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep 100 /etc/passwd rocketmouse:x:1000:1000::/home/rocketmouse:/bin/bash chuser:x:1001:1001::/.chuser/.home:/bin/bash So home for the user "rocketmouse" is /home/rocketmouse, but home for the user "chuser" is /.chuser. I don't have a directory /home/chuser, but I simply could run "mkdir /home/chuser, than all the config files still would be placed in /.chuser, but I could add my /Documents, /Work etc. directories in /home/chuser. However, it doesn't make sense to separate hidden files, I add this "strange" user and the /home outside of /home for other reasons. Important files for users are: "/etc/shadow Secure user account information /etc/passwd User account information /etc/gshadow Contains the shadowed information for group accounts /etc/group Defines the groups to which users belong /etc/sudoers List of who can run what by sudo /home/* Home directories" - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users_and_Groups I guess it doesn't differ for Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
