Discussion

If users do not have a valid home directory, there is no place for the storage and control of files they own.

Check Content

Use pwck to verify home directory assignments are present.
# pwck
If any user is not assigned a home directory, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Assign a home directory to any user without one.   This can be accomplished using ‘/sbin/yast2 users’ > Edit > Details to modify the home directory of an existing user.  Alternatively, the following command may be used:
# usermod -d </home/directory> <username>
