Hi,
Im trying to use Windows file sharing on jaguar. I know linux but very new to *BSD/OSX
i created a guest account that I can login to from a PC and this works fine. However the thing I want to do is backup someone's profile on the machine(not guest's) I figure there are a couple of ways of doing this.
use the person's actual account to login(I don't want to do this)
change the guest accounts login dir to his Documents directory and give guest read permissions. the backup server Veritas Backup exec can then backup the whole directory.
I looked in the /etc/passwd file to edit the login dir for guest but guest isn't there. Im assuming it is in /etc/master.passwd however root is the only account that can read this file but he can't login as root? security feature? his account is admin and I couldn't change root's passwd.
Does anyone know how to change the login dir of an account?
thanx,
