Sun will use the auto mount mechanism for /home. Have a look at the file /etc/auto_home
# Home directory map for automounter
#
+auto_home
* machinename:extra/home/&
The above example will map /extra/home to /home with all the user directories under this point. This is useful for centralized user directories.
