Thank you for your reply. I also tried that as well as the other
suggestion that was posted to this thread. But httpd does not show up
in /home.

I added the entries to another test server and rebooted. These are the entries:

kilaasi 127.0.0.1:/export/home/kilaasi
claus 127.0.0.1:/export/home/claus

rozetta~%>pwd
/export/home/kilaasi

I'm using opensolaris b70b.

I will try that instead.
