The home directory is created when you run the createhomedir command-line tool. See
“Using createhomedir to Create Home Directories” on page 165 for details. The home
directory is created immediately under the share point using the short name of the user (the
user’s first short name if there are multiple short names).
If you want more control over where the user’s home directory resides within a share point
or what it is named, use the Advanced option on the Home tab. See “Defining an Advanced
Home Directory for NFS Access” on page 163 for instructions.

m You want the user’s home directory to reside in directories not immediately below the
home directory share point. For example, you may want to organize home directories into
several subdirectories within a share point. If Homes is the home directory share point,
you may want to place teacher home directories in Homes/Teachers and student home
directories in Homes/Students.
m You want to specify a home directory name different from the user’s short name.
You can use Workgroup Manager to define an advanced home directory for a user whose
account is stored in a NetInfo or LDAPv3 directory domain or to review home directory
information in any directory domain accessible from the server you are using.
