Linux User without home task

This task was marked as failed for me.
I did create the user without a home directory and confirmed their existence.
Is there some detail that I missed?
I do not recall that the task mentioned a non-interactive login just “no home” directory.
I cannot tell from research if there is some other aspect of this problem I need to address.

At this point since I do not know what was wrong, I do not know how to correct it.

Thanks in advance.

The task statement was to create a user on Stapp01 without a home directory.

I have included the fail statement.
I did create the user with:
$sudo useradd -M kristy

And I confirmed their existence with
$id kristy
Unfortunately, I do not have a screen shot of that output.

If there are other aspects to the task (non-interactive login, restricted permissions) that are part of the “no home directory”, I did not do those.

Thanks.

Hi @jonatcooper,

I don’t know whether it’s a copy and paste or write issue, but I see that you use kristy instead of kirsty.

Please try to redo the task and be certain to :

  • use the correct name,
  • be on the correct server.

You can check if the folder is created in the /home directory.

ls -l /home

Regard

AARRRGH!!

I have family members named ‘kristy’ so when I saw the name combined with my habit of swapping letters, I didn’t think it was kirsty.

Thank you very much for the sharp eyes.
I will try again.
