auto mount

Hello,
We got some SUSIE servers in and we are trying to get auto mount to work. We normally mount our home directories on RHEL and Solaris to /export/home. The home directories on the Susie servers mount home directory to /home. When uses login their home directories mount. When my coworker does su - to anther user, that users home directory doesn't mount. This is different then what we are used to to. can someone give us a hand so we can get the auto mount working right.

Whenever the user logs in they should be in /home/user

If that user then wants to su to a different user and be in that users home directory, you have to su in this way:
Code:
su - new_user

If you su without the "-" you will stay within your own home directory:

su new_user
Password:
suseserver01:/home/user # id
uid=10066(new_user) gid=61000(linux users)

Hope that's not stating the painfully obvious Smilie

Thank you for replying to my post. My co-worker fixed the issue. He said it was a setting in one of the config files.
