Hi Larry,
Yes, that seems to be the problem. My /etc/passwd is full of users of
my company's domain, all of them (including me) with home such as
//fileserver/public/<user>
I don't need to have all my company in this file, since it's only for me.
any quick way or re-creating this file? I do remember a mkpasswd or
similar command..???
Regards,
