The setup will differ + from host to host. Therefore, no program should rely on this + location. + . + Note that passing --no-create-home alone does not solve the issue + because home field of passwd file point to a non existing + /home subdirectory. Please use + <code>adduser --no-create-home --home /nonexistent</code> instead. +See-Also: filesystem-hierarchy homeuserhomedirectories, adduser(8) |
