Newbie question: root can't write /home?

I've just installed Solaris Express DE under Parallels on

an MB15. It works fine, except that root can't make directories

in /home, or(apparently) change it in any way -- chmod, etc

give errors. Even rmdir /home complains that /home is in

use or a mount point - tho mount shows its not the latter.

Useradd puts home dirs by default in /home - I can put them

elsewhere, but the need to do so seems a bit odd...

Is there something magic about /home?

Yes. It's under control of the automounter, not a normal directory.You can either use the automounter by putting your home directory location in auto_home, you can use a different directory, or you can disable the automounter. All are valid.-- Darren
