Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: passwd
Executing "usermod -md /home/new_home_dir username" as root/sudo acts as
though it is broken in Ubuntu 8.04LTS. Displays help text instead of
executing action of moving the contents of a user's home directory to
new location. Executing "usermod -d /home/new_home_dir username" works
as expected, though you must manually create the homedir and move
existing files.
The manpage as well as the help dialog states that -m should work.
This was tested and appears to be fixed in 9.04.
** Affects: shadow (Ubuntu)
