User home directory creation

The UNIX and Linux Adapter provides a user-selectable option to create a default home directory for a user or an account.

The default home directory is created by concatenating the base directory value that is defined on that system with the account name or user name to be created.

Example

The base directory value on the target system is /home. The user name for the account that is being created is testuser. The default home directory is /home/testuser.

Note: AIX systems ignore this option. The AIX operating systems create a home directory by default for each new account.
