Server cannot shutdown
My problem is like this. Server cannnot unmount /home. When server boot up it will execute script in /etc/init.d/autofs start.This script will mount user from /export/home to /home.When I run script /etc/init.d/autofs stop at the terminal the message display umount: /home busy.I've also try to run command umount -f /home to force unmount but the message display no such file or directory. I've also try to shutdown the server by run command shutdown but the message display umount: /home busy and the server cannot be shutdown. Another problem is with mail configuration. Now I cannot retrieve mail from the server to my Microsoft Outlook.What should I do.I don't have any idea how to solve the problem.

Do you really need to run the automounter ? If the physical home directories truely only live locally in /export/home, then disable the automounter and move the /export/home directories into /home.If /export/home is a seperate partition, then after disabling the automounter you should modify the /etc/vfstab file and mount that partition as /home instead.
From your posting it sounds like /export/home is a local directory and you really don't need to run the automounter in this situation.If you do need the automounter because you are really using it for remote type mounts, then you have a problem trying to figure out what has the /home automount point tied up.
Mail problem - you running popmail service on the Sun machine ? Outlook can retrieve mail from the Sun using popmail.
