 Hmm. hacking araound in passwd is not the best thing to do.
 Next time you run "mkpasswd" your changes may get lost.

 I think its better to use mount the map /home/tbaker to the
 place your files life.

 If you have multiple accouts. its even better to map /home to a
 place, where all user have a directory with there username.


 Hope that helps
