Hi Maurilio, welcome to the group. first off you'll probably find that /home is an "auto-mounted" directory on your system, there are a couple of ways around this: 1) edit /etc/auto_master and comment out the line with "/home" in it. 2) create the directory manually in /export/home/<user> and then change /etc/auto_home so that it has the line: * localhost:/export/home/&
