This could happen only if your user home directory is not under /home. Where do you keep your home directory?

you are right :-)

user:x:1000:1000:User,,,,:/media/daten/user:/bin/bash

and /home has a softlink

`user@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /home

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Apr 27 2014 user -> /media/daten/user
`
any chance to get this working, without users home within /home?

--private also disables all other users under /home, so in this case I don't know where the other users are. Maybe in a future version I'll manage to add support for this type of home directory.
