Then I move my user account from /Users/bbum to /Volumes/Data/Users/ bbum. I do this from my 'admin' account which actually continues to live on the boot partition, never has any non-expendable data in it, and is largely disposable. As a matter of fact, my 'bbum' user account is non-administrative (but has 'sudo' rights -- edit /etc/ sudoers to add 'em) and I rarely log into the admin account directly; only to do major administrative work on the system.

Moving the account is easy; copy/move the account to the right spot on /Volumes/Data, then use the advanced functionality in the accounts pane to change the path. Delete the one in /Users/ to prevent confusion, done.

I'm trying to create a similar setup., but with a clean user folder. I have just repartitioned my drive, and created partitions.


-On one partition I installed Leopard (10.5.8), and created an admin user.
-WIth that account I created a new non-admin user.
-I copied over the user folder to the data partition.
-I changed the path for that user in the advanced options of the accounts pane.
-I gave the new user sudo rights by editing sudoers (using sudo visudo). (I did not find /etc/sudoers/, apparently it is in /private/ etc/sudoers.)
-I restarted and logged into the new user account. So far so good, the login appears to be successful and the account is on the correct partition. But:
-I can hardly do anything within that account. I do not even have enough privileges to open some of my own folders.


So, what's up with that? Any ideas about what may have gone wrong, what I may have missed, how to fix the account?

Kind Regards,
