I have a S8300 release 5.0. When I try to go with dadmin appears this message:

No directory /var/home/dadmin!
Logging in with home = "/".
-bash: /var/home/dadmin/.bash_profile: Permission denied
-bash-3.00$

I connected with another session (prof18) and I tried this:

cmuserdel dadmin
cmuseradd dadmin
cmpasswd dadmin

But didn't work
 
Code:
avaya@S8300> /bin/ls -l /var/home

[b]what does yours show for the dadmin entry?[/b]

Telecom is a prof18 account
 
-l is a lower case "L"
try again

First, try this:

cmuseradd super-user -C 18 telecom2
cmpasswd telecom2
cmuseradd super-user -C 18 telecom3
cmpasswd telecom3
ls -l /var/home

We want to make /var/home/dadmin change from 1004 to telecom2 or telecom3
If this works, you can login with the login that owns /var/home/dadmin
then "\rm -r /var/home/dadmin" and remove this directory. This will allow building
a new directory owned by dadmin by using command "cmuserdel dadmin" then "cmuseradd dadmin"
then "ls -l /var/home"

What I was hoping for here, was that 1003 and 1004 userids that own cust and dadmin folders to
change to telecom2 or telecom3. It did not happen.

You will need root permission to remove /var/home/dadmin folder
then, cmuseradd dadmin will add login dadmin and /var/home/dadmin that has proper directory and file
ownership and permissions.

The 5 Sep 15 13:15 thread has an example of what this should look like.
The fact that 1004 owns /var/home/dadmin with permissions of 755 does not allow a dadmin logon to
change directories to /var/home/dadmin which would execute bash profiles. A dadmin logon puts user
in "/" where there are no bash profiles. This is why dadmin is not working.

I can fix this for you. You will need a modem connected to the server before you contact me.
