Thomas,
If you're trying to make user home directories on your local machine in
/home, you have to watch out because the initial Solaris config assumes
that you're in an enterprise environment and the convention is to have a
filer somewhere that serves everyone's home directories which, with the
default automount config, get mounted onto your machine's /home.
Personally, when setting up a standalone box, I don't put home
directories in /home just to avoid clobbering enterprise unix
conventions. Gaëtan gave you the quick solution of just shutting off
the automounter, which allows you to avoid addressing the problem this
time around.

hrm...that seemed to work...i'm so new to solaris....it's SO
different...what exactly did i just disable?
Does that mount nfs shares or something?
why should that prevent me from creating home directories?
thanks

now i'm stuck again.....sorry to clog the tubes with my nubishness.
i can't seem to create users inside the zone....i'm sure it's
due to zfs privelages somewhere but i'm not exactly sure how to
fix it....i dont' mind if i need to manage the zfs filesystem
outside of the zone, i'm just not sure WHERE i'm supposed to do
it....
when i try to create a home dir i get this:
mkdir: Failed to make directory "wonslung"; Operation not applicable
when i try to do it via adduser i get this:
UX: useradd: ERROR: Unable to create the home directory:
Operation not applicable.
and when i try to enter the zone home dir from the global zone i
get this, even as root:
bash: cd: home: Not owner
have i seriously screwed up or did i again miss something vital.
Maybe it's because of the automounter.
If you don't need that feature, try to disable it in your zone with
svcadm disable autofs
