On fresh install of FC6
usermod -d /home/subdir/[accountname] -m [username]
seems to execute without error, but neither creates the directory
/home/subdir/[accountname], nor moves any of the files from the original
location of /home/[accountname]. It does change the account's settings
to point to /home/subdir/[accountname] as the location of the account's
home directory. So, it seems like the -d switch is working, and it is
the -m switch that is not performing properly.
FYI, the /home/subdir directory already exists, and I've tried creating
the directory /home/subdir/[accountname], and then executing usermod as
above, all with the same results.
Agreed. As far as I can tell, usermod behaves exactly as you describe.
Looks like a bug.
Terry.
Am I misunderstanding use of the -m switch? Any ideas? Thanks.
