when i try to add a new user using DA i get the error that is cant find the users home directory after adding the user.

the user is however added to the system and the homedirectory is made.

but for some reason DA doesnt recognise it.

anyone who can me help me out?
 
this is the info of the user added by DA:

kapsalonhm:x:523:524::/home/kapsalonhm:/bin/false


info from /etc/login.defs:

UID_MIN 500
UID_MAX 60000

#
# Min/max values for automatic gid selection in groupadd
#
GID_MIN 500
GID_MAX 60000

the user is created and the homedir is made.

but still it returns the error:

Cannot find a home directory after the system user creation for kapsalonhm
 
more info:

[root@mythology kapsalonhm]# finger kapsalonhm
Login: kapsalonhm Name: (null)
Directory: /home/kapsalonhm Shell: /bin/false
Never logged in.
No mail.
No Plan.

in /usr/local/directadmin/data/users
