Solaris 10 useradd confusion

view full story
linux-howto

http://www.unix.com – I installed Solaris 10 (8/11) and added an account for myself. It lives in /export/home/{name} but /etc/passwd shows it is /home/{name} where it seems to be mounted like a filesystem. I tried to create another account from the command line but it doesn't work the same way. I can't find anything in the man page for useradd to duplicate this functionality nor does a search on the internet show anyone else who has made it work. Anyone know how to do this?

I'm having trouble since 2 days with autofs. I have a Solaris 11 Server. There I share the folder /export/home with the following command:

share -o rw -d „Freigabe von /export/home“ /export/home

My Client is a Fedora 17. On Fedora I created the folder /ahome, where all home folders should be mounted with autofs. I gave permissions 777 to /ahome.
