the first box I had was sol8 but it was inherited and apparently 'fixed'
if this has been around for longer than that. I did move to sol from
linux so I may just be confusing my first automount experience.

Hi,
I have been using Solaris only since 2.6 and /home has always been an
autofs mount point. What version of Solaris did not have /home as an
autofs mount point?
Or are you confusing OI with some other OS?

I am sure it has great value, why would it be there otherwise?. I just
remember installing a fresh version solaris one day and trying to
figure out why I couldn't just delete export and use /home like always.
Therefore, in my mind I associate it with being frustrated by a "I am
sorry Dave, I can't allow you to do that" message until I figured out
what had changed.

Really? What do you call that crap in etc under auto_master and auto_home?
Read the man pages for the automounter. Start with automount(1M).
Yes, the system comes by default with that "crap," but (a) you certainly
are under no obligation to use /export/home if you don't like it and (b)
the mechanism that underlies it is far more general than just auto_home.
It allows you to trigger configured mounts based on file system access,
and handles fail-over, platform-related variable expansion, and
directory service integration.
