Q: Home Directory not changed on client
Hello,
I am running MacServer 5.1.7 and a MacBook with OS X 10.11.6. I am using mobile accounts on the MacBook, but I have problems with home-dirs from network users:
1. There are some existing network users I want to give another path to a home-dir, not located under /Users/, but under /home. I changed the path from /Users/userold to /home/userold in the appropriate setting of the user account in the server app. But when I log on to the MacBook, the old home-dir is still set (terminal, "echo $HOME" still gives "/Users/userold" as output).
2. When I create a completely new User in the server app and instantly give /home/newuser as path to home-dir before having logged on the first time with this user on the MacBook, it works - then "echo $HOME" gives /home/newuser as output.
How can I change the path of the home-dir of existing users on the MacBook?
