Actually I could not use the old files to recreate this account. |
| 27 |
useradd -d /home/george -G |
| 28 |
users,wheel,gdm,floppy,audio,cdrom,games,cdrw -m george. |
| 29 |
Per the man page for useradd |
| 30 |
-d home_dir |
| 31 |
The new user will be created using home_dir as the value for the |
| 32 |
user's login directory. The default is to append the login name |
| 33 |
to default_home and use that as the login directory name. |
| 34 |
I could not recreate the account until I had renamed the old folder |
| 35 |
(george 2, one of the backups I have). Once I renamed the old folder, |
| 36 |
I could recreate the account with that command line. |
