Managing the NetWare Directory Services Tree
Importing User Information into the NDS Database
Home directory path If you create a home directory for User objects, you must specify a path in
the file system where you want the directories to be created. This and the
Home directory volume must be entered as a pair. If you specify a Home
directory volume, the path will be assumed to be null unless this field is
also specified.
If you want home directories created in the Users directory, type HOME
DIRECTORY PATH=”USERS”. Do not include the volume name in the
path.
Home directory volume For example, if the file specified in “Home directory path” is on volume
SYS:, enter the Volume object’s complete DS name. For example: HOME
DIRECTORY VOLUME=”SYS.STUDENT RECORDS.UNIVERSITY”.
If you create a home directory for User objects, you must specify the name
and context of the Volume object associated with the file system where the
home directories are created.
When creating users, the Home directory volume is set in the following
order:
1 Information in the data file. If the data file has a home directory
specified, its value will be used.
2 If there is no home directory specified in the data file, the home directory
from the User Template object will be used. This happens regardless of
whether or not you select to copy the user template properties when
creating users.
3 If the home directory is not found in the data file or the User Template,
this control parameter (Home directory volume) will be used.
