Create a filesystem for it (or just a directory) and then change the user's home directory to that directory using usermod. Also change the owner of that directory to be jenkins (using chown).

Hi Dan,

On the surface that might sound true. But…

jenkins at jenkins:/export/home/jenkins$ pwd
/export/home/jenkins

-and-

jenkins at jenkins:/export/home/jenkins$ cd ..
jenkins at jenkins:/export/home$ ls -la | grep jenkins
drwx------ 4 jenkins other 14 Oct  3 03:45 jenkins

Strange, huh?
