Before doing the reinstall I tar'ed the /home/user dir. When trying to untar, it puts everything so that it looks like this: /home/user/home/user How can i untar it so it puts it back as /home/user. The user in question already has the active account with the original user.tar.gz file in it. Thank you for your help, lanny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
