Good guess, this is Solaris. We are trying to create users with "useradd -m", but getting the error message "unable to create the home directory, operation not applicable". Thinking that this was related to permissions in "home" we've been trying to change it -this is a dummies site, after all
.
The "df -k /home" command returned the results you anticipated.
"Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
auto_home 0 0 0 0% /home "
interestingly enough, this listing does not appear at all when "df -k" is run without home as argument.
