Personally, I think it is not a good idea for a > machine with any users to have user accounts on the root partition (bad > Sun). Umm... did you actually try a mkdir in /home? (Hint: not even root is permitted to.) What does useradd -D say about the default base directory? By default, autofs controls /home and it's presumed that you'll be populating /etc/auto_home as a flat file or through an NIS+ map and pointing home directories at a remote system (like, say, a NAS). Granted, automountd may not have been running on that system because it probably didn't start because /etc/auto_home was probably empty, but Sun definitely does NOT intend for you to be making home directories on /. They don't intend for you to be making them at all, except in the rare case that you're setting up the NFS server. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
