Solaris

Hi,

I am not able to login in the system as user.It is showing problem

login as: User1
User1@10.xxx.xx.xx's password:
Could not chdir to home directory /home/User1: No such file or directory
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.9 Generic May 2002
$

I have created the User1 and Its home dir is /export/home/User1.

Please tell me what is wrong here

Try finding out about automounter and its interaction with home directories.

Check whether the service "autofs" is running via svcs. If not, enable it.

Also, check whether /etc/auto_home has the correct entry for home dirs.

Also, did you manually change the user's home dir in the passwd file?

Check the /etc/passwd file for tallying purposes

Thanks a lot.I resolved the Issue..

How did you resolve it? Please share for the benefit of the rest. Thx!

hi

I seem to have similar problem . I cant log in as a user only to realize the home directory of the user is empty . The home directory was in /home directory. I've deleted no files from the users home directory

Does this mean the files in the users home directory are lost ?

root@DEV # su - devadm
su: No directory!
root@DEV #

kindly shed some light on how i can overcome this.

similar problem happened with me before, I fixed it by changing the permission of the /export/home1 directory to 777.

How did you guys fixed this problem ?
