NAME
usermod — list of home directory names
DESCRIPTION
/etc/default/usermod
is an ASCII file that
contains a list of home directory names.
The
usermod
command
checks this configuration file before changing a user's home directory.
If the user's old home directory is listed in
/etc/default/usermod,
the user's directories/files will be prevented from moving to a new
home directory.
Each line in the file is of the form:
consisting of entries similar to:
Only system administrators can modify this configuration file to add
directory entries.
Each home directory is listed in the file by its absolute path name.
Directory names exceeding
PATH_MAX
characters will be silently ignored by
usermod.
The behavior of the
usermod
command
is undefined if:
There are leading and trailing spaces in the line.
There are empty lines in the configuration file.
Symbolic links are specified instead of actual directories.
Relative paths are specified instead of actual directories.
