Re: How to relocate $HOME directory

[Gene Brandt <brandtg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is not a CentOs issue or problem. This plain Jane UNIX. $HOME can be anything you want or need it to be. Copy the user's home directory to where you want and make the appropriate changes in the passwd file or automount maps.
