Linux - display all user info
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:50 pm
Is there a command to display all the info about a user - home directory, etc.
Reason I ask: I just installed vsftpd and the Ubuntu documentation says that by default the installer creates user 'ftp' and creates a home directory '/home/ftp' for that user. Well, the user 'ftp' was indeed added to the system, but there is no '/home/ftp' directory. So, now I'm wondering exactly what the ftp user's profile parameters are. I guess I'm looking for something like a hypothetical:
usermod --list ftp
