This is from SN RITM0028696 Would it be possible to get a symlink from /home/atolfsen to /home/ato so that my space there aligns with my mail address, http://people.mozilla.org/~ato/?
Unfortunately this cannot be done. Apache's user_mod that handles serving your public_html folder is tied to your POSIX username. As well symlinks in web directories are generally a bad practice. I can change your posix username to ato, but that would require coordination. I would have to disable your accounts, and re-enable them with a new name, copy files over, etc. If this is that important to you, we can plan a time to do this.
> I can change your posix username to ato I think there is a simple work around, I made a change to legacy.conf in r91456.
