Cannot add a user,No /home map.
Hi all! my problem is that i cannot add a user to my system, Solaris 10,I x86, i have search thru this forum several times and i cannot find anything about my problem.
I have tried to add a user in SMC, i can make that user and get a symbol for him in the users list in SMC but when i tried to login at this account the screen went black and the login screen appear again,i looked in /export/home and /home and there are no home map for this user!
If i try to edit this account in SMC i get an error message that says, the user has changed partly, look in the error log, but the only thing that the error log say is that the error is NULL???
Anyone????
Lars.
