Can't mkdir in /home

I've just loaded Solaris 5.7 on an Ultra 10 and I'm trying to mkdir in /home as root. I'm getting the following message:

mkdir: Failed to make directory "test"; Operation not applicable

When I do an ls -al on /home, I get:

dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root


If I do a df -ak, I get for /home:

auto_home 0 0 0 0% /home


Can anyone tell me what going on and what I need to do to be able to create a directiory in /home?

Thanks,
Leon
