- Many systems adminstrators chose to set up a directory that links to
- the correct user directory. For example, our systems have the
- following setup:
-
- I am user msingh, I can reference my directory as /u/msingh. If I get
- moved, the systems admin makes sure that /u/msingh still references
- the correct directory.
-
- The nice thing about this is that it works for *all* programs, and
- makes life generally much easier on the users. For the systems admin,
- the amount of work needed to maintain /u is not that great since you
- shouldn't really be constantly moving user's directories around.
-
- Anyway, it is a suggestion for you.
