I created a new user with useradd name
and forgot to use -d -m
to create their home directory. I tried making one, copying the contents of /etc/skel, and chown
ing everything to the new user.
Aliases don't work, such as ll
, and I just have a $
at the command prompt, instead of name@server ~$
.
Also, using the scroll wheel dumps garbage on the command line :(
How do I fix this, or is it easier to delete the user and start over?
