- A separate home directory for each TACACS+ user when the TACACS+ user first logs in. By default, the switch uses the home directory in the mapping accounts in `/etc/passwd`. If the home directory does not exist, the `mkhomedir_helper` program creates it. This option does not apply to accounts with restricted shells (users mapped to a TACACS privilege level that has enforced per-command authorization).

To avoid home directory permission issues, NVIDIA recommends you do not configure local fallback authentication and enable a home directory for a user.
