I just installed opensolaris on a x86 system and I am trying to create a new user acount. I used the useradd but it failed to create the new account because it could not write to the /home directory and create the new user account. Here are the commands I used:
# groupadd users # useradd -c "Guest User" -d /home/guest -g users -m -s /usr/bin/tcsh -u 100 guest UX: useradd: ERROR: Unable to create the home directory: Operation not applicable. I also tried to create directories in /home, but I was unable to do so. I'm logged in as root, and root is shown as the owner of /home, but root does not have write permission on /home and I was unable to change the permission with chmod. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Drew "Newbie" This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
