ISPConfig changes /etc/passwd

Hi there,

I'm having a really obnoxious problem. Every time that I change the home folder of a user (For FTP so that they can upload) within a few days ISPConfig changes it back to the ISPConfig directory.

What can I do to fix this?

 

Till, I noticed that you said here:

that you cannot manually change the home folders, what would be the correct way of doing this?

EDIT - I think that I found the correct way, just add the users to /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/users

 

Sorry to bring this post back, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to stop ISPConfig from editing the users home directories?

Thanks

 

So would it work if I created a user through adduser (the command line way)?

 

Make sure you use a UID below 10000 as ISPConfig uses UIDs >= 10000 for its users!
