10.5: Move a user's home directory via the command line
Authored by: dgm on Sep 17, '08 05:14:59PM

Does 10.5.5 break this hint? i've been using this hint since Leopard came out without problems. after installing the 10.5.5 patch though my moved home directory was not used. instead the default of /Users was used. i've tried to reset the moved home directory in dscl as described above but now get an error that the dsAttrTypeNative cannot be found. a cat of my user info does not show the information although the NFShomedirectory is set to the proper directory.

i've googled the problem but have found nothing apropos. i've checked the apple support site and found nothing there.

i did check the dscl and the DirectoryServiceAtrributes man pages. i did not see the attribute listed or mentioned. i did see dsAttrTypeStandard:HomeDirectory and tried it but again the attribute not found error.

help please. i've been unable to get to my home account normally for the last day.

thanks
