Hi,
I would like to make changes to the /etc/passwd file. Especially, I would like to change the homedirectory of some users. I can do that and it works fine, but whenever I reboot, the changes are gone.
How can I make changes to files in the /etc directory persistent?
Thanks,
bye
Marcus.

If you don't find a better way, you could employ the same mechanism as is used to modify the cron entries. There are posts in the wiki on it. Also read this thread http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5972
Basically, you just create a script that runs on bootup that makes the modifications for you.

See the ffp howto on the wiki, the section called "The root user". Essentially you need to run "store-passwd.sh" to save your changes to the password file. Things like the home dir and startup shell are kept in the password file, along with passwords.
