Hi all,
I logged in as root in solaris machine and made an attempt to create a user ,i am getting the following error message pls help me to resolve this issue
bash-3.00# useradd -d /home/kalyan -m -s /bin/sh kalyan
UX: useradd: ERROR: Unable to create the home directory: Operation not applicable.
/home is used by the automounter.
On solaris, you use /export/home as default
After creating the home directory in /export/home, you can configure the automounter to pick the homes locally then set your homedir back to /home/username with usermod.
Another advice, don't choose /bin/sh as your login shell. Prefer ksh or bash.
