Actually, it's /user/ But does this mean that if you edit nu.cf such that: WantSymbolicLinks = 1 SymbolicLinkDir="/whatever" it will follow that from then on new users will end up under /whatever? pretty slick! And what if you have not first created /whatever? Actually, you should be able to add your users under /whatever using UserManager.. you need to click on the long view (it has changed location in 2.0) and you can specify /whatever as the directory under which the new user goes. I am of the understanding that you can now alter the group of already-installed users from inside UserManager now (no more niload blah..blah) -- _-_-_-_-_ -_-_-_-_-Chuck Herrick The opinions expressed herein are mine and are in no way attributed to any of the many people for whom I work.
