To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 3:32 PM This may not be the right answer. But might be useful When you add a new user, a home directory also will be created by default if you don't mention -M with useradd. You can check when the home directory is created in /home and this will be same as the time when user is created.
