Could not chdir to home directory
I have SunOS 5.8.
Yesterday when i tried to log in I got message:
Could not chdir to home directory /export/home/blahblah: No such file or directory
Instead of the home directory i used to get in, I was bounced to the root directory. I searched through the filesystems but could not find my home directory
Since we don't have admin for this machine, no one know what happened
What could be the cause? Anyway to diagnose it and how do i fix it?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
