Hi,
I have newly installed sun solaris on my pc since I would like to learn something more about unix. During the installation, I had to assign a password for the super user root.After the installation, the book I am following suggested me to create a new user which I did. My home directory is now /export/home, but in home i have just lost+found and home is owned from root. Does it mean I have to create each folder and file in there like the ones i see for root?(i.e usr/bin, bin, sbin, etc) How can I do that if my home directory is owned from root? I can not even create my .profile in there. Any suggestion? Can I have the same structure as root but owned from me?
Thanks
Giuliano

you did something wrong while creating the user.... normaly your userdirectory should be /export/home/username

# useradd -d /export/home/pressy -g staff -s /bin/sh pressy

you could also create an new folder in /export/home, edit /etc/passwd to the right directory and change the ownerchip of the directory.........

do you have an X? there you could use admintool or the "new" smc (solaris management center)......
