| Permission Problem
I ran the sys-unconfig command and now I can't seem to change the permission on that folder even though I'm the Superuser(Root admin).
I need to fix this so the user 'tommy' can login and have his home directory working.
How do I fix this??? |

/home is a virtual file system, managed by the automounter. Change permissions on the original (where it is mounted from). |

Canada | Sorry I forgot to mention that. It is Solaris 10 6/06 x86 OS.
I'm completely new to this OS, can you tell me how I can change the permission from where it is mounted from and check where it is mounted from? Thanks. |

| The output of "df -k" should allow you to find where it is mounted from. If this is a local user, then it might well be mounted from "/export/home/tommy", in which case you can use "chown" on that.
It is usually "/home" that you can't change. I would have expected to be able to change "/home/tommy", unless it is mounted from a different computer or is mounted ro (read only). If it is mounted from a different computer, then you may need to login as root on that computer to change permissions. |

Looks like it is not on a local file system, why is that? I only have one hard drive and it's installed only the the Solaris partition.
How do I mount it on a local file system so I can get the user 'tommy' to work? |
