Hello.

The problem could be the "/home" directory.

Under Solaris "/home" is a very special directory which maps different home directories. For example: In a network installation if your home directory lies on a server and you log in Solaris will mount the server's home disk and map your NFS home directory to /home/netuser.

It's important to know that Solaris will remove /home/netuser when you log out so that the /home directory is EMPTY whenever there is no user logged in.

Try to share the REAL home directory (if you have a "normal" installation this will be "/export/home/myfiles/ftp1").

I hope this helps.

Martin

Most likely (are the permissions 555?) /home is autmounted

Ensure the nfs server is running. /etc/init.d/nfs.server startIf you are trying to share an automount, I am not sure that will work, but if the automount point is local, for example, /home/test points to /export/home/test, share out the /export/home/test instead. Hope this helps.
