Posted on 2011-03-07
I'm on CENTOS and trying to change an existing user's home directory. I tried usermod, but says that command is bad. Any other way?

I did that, but got this error bash: usermod: command not found. Do I need to do it from a certain location?
Other easy way is to edit the /etc/passwd file
Manually change the user and change its home directory
