I am running copSSH on Windows 2003 SP1. I downloaded the latest version of copSSH 1.3.7 today. I activated one user without a problem. When I activated the second user it did not create the myhome directory. When I go to either users home directory (/home/user1 or /home/user2)and try to create a link to another directory it says permission denied. If I go to /home/user1/myhome and try to create the link it works fine. There is no /home/user2/myhome directory to try to create the link in for user2. I tried to deactivate user2 and it told me it couldn't remove /home/user2 it says Device or resource is busy.
Any ideas on how to get user2 to work?
Thank you
Activation script does not create myhome link if there is no windows home directory for a user. A home directory will be created when you log in windows for the first time.
I have tested activation of two users (one with a home directory and the other without a home) on a Windows 2003 (not SP1!!) system. It worked as expected.
Thank you for your reply. It is nice to know why what I figured out worked. I was able to get user2 deactivated. I then logged in as user2. Then recreated user2 and the my home directory did show up. Could I have just logged in and been ok without deactivating and reactivating user2?
Could the FAQ on linking to other directories include a note that you have to be in /home/username/myhome directory to create the links to other directories? Or is there some permission thing I am missing when I get the permission denied when I try it at the /home/username level?
Thank you,

Login to windows first and (re)activating user for copssh later is the right sequence.

Activation process sets full rights for the user at /home/username. A user should be able to create links her/him-self. However, administrators cannot do that since they have only read access.
