What does "ls -ld /home/test" exactly say? "ls -ldn /home/test"? What does "grep test /etc/passwd" say?
You have some assumptions here which might not always apply. :)
We're talking about a unmodified SuSE Linux system here, don't we? :)
Use something like "ls -ld ~test" and "finger test" or "id test" (depending on what you want to check with the grep(1) command).
Mainly uid/gid and home directory. I just wanted to use the most basic tools available - if a system is somehow misconfigured, the "system" tools (and even things like "~user") might give confusing results... Bye, Martin
