I have recently installed Raspbian onto a Raspberry Pi. As part of the installation process I changed the user name and group from the default (pi) to my own (let's call it user) using usermod
and groupmod
. I as well moved the home directory /home/pi
to the new user name /home/user
using usermod
. Everything works fine except that when I login using SSH instead of landing the new user directory /home/user
I end up at the home directory /home
.
Just as the directory /home/user
exists with permissions 755. In addition to that the /etc/passwd
file contains an entry that looks like the following:
user:x:1000:1000:User:/home/user:/bin/bash.
To me everything looks fine, but still when I login from SSH I get a prompt that looks like:
user@raspberrypi /home $.
Any idea why this may be happening or any simple solution? It's not a big deal but it is confusing me.
echo $HOME
. That's where the shell believes your user directory is.
