Re: User home directories in /User

It just happens i used GNUstep to write my system. /User/rogelio only has 
GNUstep dir on it nothing else. Everything else is in the GNUstep
dir. 

A system written using gnustep is not gnustep. Thats how I call my
system now.

And this is good exactly what for? GNUstep is no operating system.
Usually, UNIX puts a user's home in, you guessed it, in /home. Every
SYSTEM tool that deals with user home directories, eg. adduser or
useradd, points to the home directory as it's used by the system.

If you want to have access to a user's home through /User, create it,
then symlink the real path.
