Home directory not having same contents after adding user for different server
Hi,
I add users using the command for all the server I use
eg for server 66 which has opensuse 12.1
Code:
--------------------
powerme@msvlsi66:~> su -
Password:
msvlsi66:~ # useradd -g users -d /export/home/patil66 -m patil66
msvlsi66:~ # passwd patil66
Changing password for patil66.
New Password:
Bad password: it is based on a dictionary word
Reenter New Password:
Password changed.
msvlsi66:~ #
--------------------
Similarly for server 62 which has opensuse 10.3
Code:
--------------------
msvlsi62 home/liuc> su -
Password:
msvlsi62:~ # useradd -g users -d /export/home/patil62 -m patil62
msvlsi62:~ # passwd patil62
Changing password for patil62.
New Password:
Bad password: it is based on a dictionary word
Reenter New Password:
Password changed.
msvlsi62:~ #
--------------------
Now when I login using the patil66 and patil62 the contents of the home
directory are different or some files are missing!
on server 66
Code:
--------------------
patil66@msvlsi66:~> pwd
/export/home/patil66
patil66@msvlsi66:~> ll
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 patil66 users 4096 Feb 8 10:42 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 patil66 users 4096 Feb 8 10:42 public_html
patil66@msvlsi66:~>
--------------------
on server 62
Code:
--------------------
msvlsi62 home/patil62> pwd
/export/home/patil62
msvlsi62 home/patil62> ll
total 16
drwx------ 2 patil62 users 4096 Feb 8 10:45 Documents
drwxr-xr-x 2 patil62 users 4096 Feb 8 10:45 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 patil62 users 4096 Feb 8 10:45 public_html
-rwxr-xr-x 1 patil62 users 46 Feb 8 10:45 vncme
msvlsi62 home/patil62>
--------------------
we can see that both the home directories contents are different which
were suppose to be same.
Any idea whats happening here?
let me know if you need more information!
Thanks in Advance
Raj

to me it looks like servers 62 and 66 are running different versions, and those two different versions have different default contents for newly created user /home you can fix that, but i would advise you that openSUSE 10.3 on server 62 is FAR past its end of life and has received *no* security patches since October 31st 2009--and LOTs of security patches have been propagated since then!! strongly suggest you move up to a supported system. -- DD Read what Distro Watch writes: http://tinyurl.com/SUSEonDW

Thank you DD for your suggestion, I will discuss about the up-gradation with my boss. In the mean time does this have anything to do with NFS? my NFS server has opensuse 12.1 -- Raj "Let Noble thoughts come to us from all side" -- patilrajashekar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ patilrajashekar's Profile: http://forums.opensuse.org/member.php?userid=65134 View this thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=472219

I agree with the recommendation to install the later version. In each of the affected systems, check the userid and make sure that they are the same, and that they match the file settings in the exported volume.

What is created in a new users home directory is configured in-
/etc/skel- as you could have found out if you had read
Code:
--------------------
man useradd
--------------------
It is quite possible that both systems differ there. Not only because
they are of different openSUSE level, but also because, while you call
both "servers" (which is a rather general term used by many PC-Windows
users as a term for other computers then PC-Windows computers), they
could have been installed very differently. Like the one having an Text
only install and the other a KDE install. This is illustrated IMHO by
the fact that the directory -Documents- is typicaly something belonging
to a Desktop environment.
