You're running automounter. There is a /home entry in /etc/auto_master. Turn off the automounter or at least remove the entry: "/home" from /etc/auto_master

Dear jim mcnamara
When I see the auto_master I observe the following:
Quote:
# cd /etc/
# cat auto_master
# Master map for automounter
#
+auto_master
/net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
/home auto_home -nobrowse
/xfn -xfn
/- auto_direct
#
Tell me how to turn off automounter

I have a problem when I'll try to enter in my server
Let me explain.
When I try to login to this Equipment (Application Server - 192.168.1.6)
Quote:
c:\> telnet 192.168.1.6
SunOS 5.8
login: andres (The same problem, if a put andres)
Password: (guillen) (The same problem, if a put guillen)
No directory! Logging in with home=/
Last login: Mon Sep 5 16:50:29 from 192.168.99.8

You have new mail.
ApplicServer
When I review the passwd (/etc/passwd) file I observe that these two account (andres and guillen)
exist:
ApplicServer # cat /etc/passwd
root:x:0:1:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh
daemon:x:1:1::/:
bin:x:2:2::/usr/bin:
sys:x:3:3::/:

it:x:1002:10::/it:/bin/sh
anaer:x:100:102:ejecucion de script anaer:/home/anaer:/bin/sh
ApplicServer#
In base of the results of catīs command, I observe that when I use "andres" (the same problem appear if a use guillen) account the system try to find the following path:
Quote:
/home/andres,
These is the home path directory in the passwd file. But this path or directory is not exit.
Let me show:
Quote:
ApplicServer # ls -al /home/
total 3
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Sep 5 16:50 .
drwxr-x--x 33 root root 1024 May 7 2010 ..
ApplicServer #
This is the reason why appear the following message
No directory! Logging in with home=/
In other application Server (which have the same userīs account) I observe the following:
Quote:

In Solaris local home directories are stored under /export/home. You should modify your user account to reflect that:
Code:
usermod -d /export/home/andres andres

Then create that directory with proper rights:
Code:
mkdir /export/home/andres
chown andres:your_group /export/home/andres
