Hi all

I wanted to change the home dir for a user, but when using smh :

Code:

SMH->Accounts for Users and Groups->Local Users->Modify User
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Required Field

*Login Name                    :  ictprod____________

User ID                      :  115________________
Allow duplicate User ID      : No ->

Primary Group                :  users______________
[ Change Primary Group ]

Home Directory                :  /data/ICTPRD/bmd1__
Create Home Directory        : No ->

Start-Up Program Options      :  (X) Select Start-Up Program
                                  ( ) Specify Start-Up Program
Start-Up Program              : /sbin/sh ->

Comments                      :  ___________________
                                (Real Name, Location, Phone, Home Phone)

Password Options              : No Restrictions (Normal Behavior) ->

[ Modify ] [ Preview ] [ Cancel ] [ Help ]

Then when clicking on modify, I got:

Code:

'/data/ICTPRD/bmd1' is not a valid directory
Command Unsuccessful
press enter Key to continue

Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
