Re: Default homedir

[Marcos R. - A. W. <pu...@al...>]

Tom:

for me the absolute beauty of webmin is that I do not need to deal with
pearl to "customize" it to my needs!

in most modules, besides de module configuration, you need also to check
how the webmin user (even the admin), can use that module.

in the specific case you mention (create homedir in a certain dir, like
/u1/home ), you should go to webmin/webmin users, then click on "Users and
Groups" under the webmin user that will be creating new system users, and
that will take you to the module access control... there you'll find a
field that ask you "Home directories must be under"... where you can then
choose /u1/home)

Suppose that you have some users that need to go to u1/home , and others
to u2/home... in that case you could clone that webmin user, and then
change the appropiate field for that webminuser!

of course you could modify any part of the script...but for that you do
need to be comfortable hacking perl code... and I'm not!

Hope it works for you
Marcos
