Mark, In Solaris/OpenSolaris, /home is the automounter's mount point for home directories. You could put home directories in /export/home or you could use the automounter. Home directories are still created in /export/home but the automounter mounts them in /home, using the guidelines below. There are 3 files involved in the automounter:
/etc/passwd: halstead:x:1000:1000:Ron Halstead:/home/halstead:/usr/bin/ksh93 /etc/auto_master # Master map for automounter # +auto_master /net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse /home auto_home -nobrowse /etc/auto_home # Home directory map for automounter # +auto_home * sol11:/export/home/& # my hostname is sol11 Then start the automounter svcadm enable autofs Unfortunately, adduser does not read the automounter maps so it will still fail to create the home directory. You will have to do it manually. But then again, this is not a hardship for me as I create user accounts with vi, always have, always will (adduser didn't exist when I started). I highly recommend O'Reilly's book, Managing NFS & NIS. Chapter 9 explains the automounter very well. --ron -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
