unix-home
Applicable in NameTrans-class directives.
UNIX Only. The unix-home function translates user names (typically of the form ~username) into the user’s home directory on the server’s UNIX machine. You specify a URL prefix that signals user directories. Any request that begins with the prefix is translated to the user’s home directory.
You specify the list of users with either the /etc/passwd file or a file with a similar structure. Each line in the file should have this structure (elements in the passwd file that are not needed are indicated with *):
username:*:*:groupid:*:homedir:*
If you want the server to scan the password file only once at startup, use the Init-class function init-uhome in magnus.conf.
