Actually, Solaris expects you to put home-dirs in /export/home, and mount it under /home using the automounter, which is enabled by default. This is done by putting something like the following in /etc/auto_home: atle host:/export/home/& Then put /home/atle in /etc/passwd > This doesn't look like any other Unix I have seen. While the automounter does look like overkill for one system, it's great for when you have more than one fileserver. (And this is completely off-topic.
