You're running automounter. There is a /home entry in /etc/auto_master. Turn off the automounter or at least remove the entry: "/home" from /etc/auto_master

I have a problem when I'll try to enter in my server
Let me explain.
When I try to login to this Equipment (Application Server - 192.168.1.6)

c:\> telnet 192.168.1.6
SunOS 5.8
login: andres (The same problem, if a put andres)
Password: (guillen) (The same problem, if a put guillen)
No directory! Logging in with home=/

When I review the passwd (/etc/passwd) file I observe that these two account (andres and guillen)
exist:
ApplicServer # cat /etc/passwd
root:x:0:1:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh
daemon:x:1:1::/:
bin:x:2:2::/usr/bin:
sys:x:3:3::/:

ApplicServer#

In base of the results of cat�s command, I observe that when I use "andres" (the same problem appear if a use guillen) account the system try to find the following path:

These is the home path directory in the passwd file. But this path or directory is not exit.
Let me show:

This is the reason why appear the following message
No directory! Logging in with home=/

In other application Server (which have the same user�s account) I observe the following:

In Solaris local home directories are stored under /export/home. You should modify your user account to reflect that:

usermod -d /export/home/andres andres

Then create that directory with proper rights:

mkdir /export/home/andres
chown andres:your_group /export/home/andres
