118 Chapter 7 Setting Up Home Directories
6 Click the Add (+) button to add a custom home directory location, or click the
Duplicate (copy icon) button to copy an existing location.
You can remove a home directory location by selecting it and clicking the Delete (–)
button. You can delete only locations that were added with the Add or Duplicate
buttons.
7 In the URL field, either enter the full URL to an existing automountable AFP share point
where you want the home directory to reside, or leave this field blank for an NFS share
point.
For example, if the AFP share point is Homes and you are using DNS, you might
enter “AFP://server.example.com/Homes.” If you are not using DNS, replace the DNS
name of the server hosting the home directory with the server’s IP address:
AFP://192.168.2.1/Homes.” You can use or omit a slash (/) at the end of the URL.
8 In the Path field, enter the path from the AFP share point to the home directory,
including the home directory but excluding the share point; leave this field blank for an
NFS share point.
For example, you might enter “Teachers/SecondGrade/Smith.”
Do not put a slash at the beginning or the end of the path.
9 In the Home field, enter the full path to the home directory, concluding with the home
directory itself.
Use an initial slash (/) but no terminating slash.
Example for a local user account: /Users/Teachers/SecondGrade/Smith
Example for a user account in a shared directory domain:
/Network/Servers/myServer/Homes/Teachers/SecondGrade/Smith
The name you type following “/Network/Servers/” must be the host name entered
when the server was initially set up. If you do not know the host name, open the
Terminal application, type “hostname” and press Return to display the name.
10 Click OK.
11 (Optional) Enter a disk quota and specify megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB).
12 Click Create Home Now, then click Save.
The home directory has the name specified in step 8.
If you do not click Create Home Now before clicking Save, the home directory is
created the next time the user restarts the client computer and logs in remotely.
Note: Home directories are automatically created the first time a user logs in only on
share points served via an AFP server. NFS home directories must be created manually.
13 For a user account in a shared directory domain, make sure that the user restarts his or
her client computer so that the share point is visible on it.
