Hi *, while creating new users the systemdefault for the userid is always 505. Setting it by hand to perhaps 510 doesn't work too. The homedirectories looks like this: drwxr-xr-x 3 505 users 1024 Aug 2 00:19 test drwxr-xr-x 3 510 users 1024 Aug 2 00:19 test2 A cd '~test' or cd '~test2' ends with following error-message: x:/webroots # cd ~test2 bash: cd: ~test2: No such file or directory Rebooting the system for reinit all daemons doesn't work too. System is SuSE 6.2 with Kernel 2.2.10. Reinstalled security fixes: x:~/new_rpms # ls . mdomo.rpm .. mysqclnt.rpm aaa_base-2000.5.2-0.i386.rpm mysql.rpm bind8.rpm mysqldev.rpm bindutil.rpm pine.rpm cpio.rpm pop-2000.6.8-0.i386.rpm cron.rpm syslogd.rpm lynx.rpm Any ideas? Boris.
