lost home directory

The home directory for a very important user ie prdadm in my system is missing. the files were not deleted but seem to disapper after I had configured /etc/hosts.equiv file. Though I undid the changes later on nothing seems to be the same

. As a result I can't log in as the user prdadm. I get the error message below

root@PRD#su - prdadm
su: No directory!
root@PRD#

I just did a check on autofs config files in my server .directory /etc/auto_direct is missing. below is the output of /etc/auto_home & /etc/auto_master

root@PRD#

root@PRD#

the entry of the user in /etc/passwd
prdadm:x:105:101:SAP System Administrator:/home/prdadm:/bin/csh

Is there a way I can recover the home directory files for user prdadm ?
