home directory problem

[gaubeo_n2d]

I have solaris 9 installed across 2 disks.



disk 1

/ s0

swap s1

/usr s6

/var s3

/home s7



disk2



/swapfile (spare space for use with swap) s1

/opt s5

/export/home s7



When I create a new user using solaris Management console, it takes the settings /export/home/ as the home directory but after logging in as user, home directory appears to be /home/.



When I show hidden files, both directories (/home/ and /export/home/) both have the same files(.cshrc, .login, etc).



How do I set this so that /export/home/ is used exclusively and not /home/


Do I have to change the mount order in vstab? Below is a listing of my vstab file. (/home -c0t0d0s7) not listed in vfstab.



#device device mount FS fsck mount mount

#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options

#

fd - /dev/fd fd - no -

/proc - /proc proc - no -

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 - - swap - no -

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no

-

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6 /usr ufs 1 no

-

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var ufs 1 no

-

/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s7 /export/home ufs 2

yes -

/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s5 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s5 /opt ufs 2 yes

-

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1 /usr/openwin ufs 2

yes -

swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -

********* I notice that when I deselect "automatically mount home directory" in the user template the issue goes away. I guess this may be the fix but I don't understand why? If I put the home directory as /export/home/, why doesn't it use thta as home?

3. The core of this tip is very simple: Windows tracks your application's “current directory”
4. Apple was thinking here, but the good news is that your files are still there and you can easily fix this problem with the /home directory
5. But when users log in using the gnome graphical login screen, the /home directory is not automounted

look into your /etc/passwd file, there your home directories are configured:



pressy:x:1001:10::/export/home/pressy:/usr/bin/bash

More Information:

1. This is quite simple to fix, but you will then run into further problems
2. How I created the home directory: Having created a user
3. When setting up a new user, if you choose to both encrypt the home directory and automatically logon this prevents the account from being used
4. I've set the network share user/password up on the local security directory, changed the anonymous user account for that site to that, run cacls on the cmd
5. I am having a lot of problem in implementing mod-rewrite in the Apache 2
6. the illegal name of the file in my home folder
7. I've only really seen one problem so far, a version mismatch error with a component of gnucash that started in Ubuntu 8
8. If you put your domain home directory in /home, all your source codes will be accessible by everybody on the same server
