i am new to solaris. I logged in my standalone ultra machine which has solaris 9 installed on it. As a root, i tried to create a user.
But in the /home directory , i was unable to create a directory for the user. even as a root, i have no permission to create a directory. Is there any problem with the installation of solaris 9 ?

If the automount daemon is active, it is expecting to mount /home from a nfs server. You can either disable this function or create home directories under a different directory.
