*** Bug 6222 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Linux = every time you press a key,a new bug appears ! A
free system, bust an incalculable lost of time

The last bug encoutered = impossibilitie to move an user
directory.

What I have done:
 - move my home directory from /home/xxx to /users/xxx
 - register the new home directory using linuxconf

What appened:
 - core file cerated by linuxconf
 - lost of all configuration file when I log on.
 - xterm is always started in the .gnome.desktop directory
 - A CORE (10 Mb) IS  CREATED EACH TIME I LOG ON !!!

See you soon !

I just tried this.

useradd user
passwd user
Changing password for user user
New UNIX password: xxxxxx
Retype new UNIX password: xxxxxx
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully

mv /home/user /tmp/user
linuxconf --> Users Accounts/Normal --> User Accounts --> Select User
Change the line "Home Directory(opt)" to /tmp/user
exit Linuxconf
login as "user"

  All is fine. This was with Linuxconf-1.16r10 which will be released as errata
when testing is completed. I would suggest upgrading when available.

This is likely because GNOME (and most programs like Netscape Navigator, ncftp,
etc.) will record the location of your home directory in its configuration
files, and there's no way for linuxconf to know where it needs to modify your
configuration files and where it should leave things alone.  The most workable
solution is probably to manually edit the list of files you get from:
grep -l /home/oldhomedir `find -type f`

The simplest solution is to just remove the offending configuration files and
let the various programs reset to their defaults.

Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore.
