Solaris

When I'm logging as a user(i.e., oracle), I don't find any files and folders in /home

Attached error message below, while logging...

You have mail.

perhaps its not mounted properly.
also, I think, in Solaris, home is usually in /export/home

Checked everything. Everything is alright.

Your saying user home as /export/home Even I am logging as some user,
even it's saying folder not exists.

I didn't even delete anything manually.

Was /home/oracle populated before ?

/home is by default an automount point. What says:

Code:

grep home /etc/auto_master
cat /etc/auto_home

?

Code:

$ grep home /etc/auto_master
/home auto_home -nobrowse
$ cat /etc/auto_home

Please view this code tag video for how to use code tags when posting code and data.

If /home/oracle is empty, that means you have disabled the automounter or similar issue.

What says

Code:

svcs -xv "*auto*"

(please use code tags)

Hi harthikn, this means that the user sunone have the home in /export/home/sunone in the local machine an oracle have the home in /app1/oracle in the local machine, so, these folders must be created in order to be able to login correctly. Also, if you are not using NIS, you don't need the +auto_home entry, this can be a problem. Make sure that the folders are created and all the permissions are the correct and comment the +auto_home entry in the /etc/auto_home file. Also make sure that the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is correctly configured, the "automount:" key must have a file entry in the fist position or only this entry. After that, you can restart the autofs daemon or reboot the machine. I think that this can solve your problem.
