Thanks for all your responses. Luckily this was a very easy problem to fix. A bit embarrassedly, I was stumped by a simple Solaris default configuration. Here's the most entertaining of several identical solutions was provided by Matthew Boeckman: is /home being automounted by *the evil* automount daemon? check /etc/auto_home and /etc/auto_master, unless you _want_ /home to be an nfs mount you need to comment out these files, then restart the automount daemon, with /etc/init.d/autofs stop /etc/init.d/autofs start I have to do this on every sol7 box i own at install time. Sun just assumes you want /home to be mounted remotely... ?!?!? Thanks all, S--- -----Original Message----- All, I rebooted my Sendmail server (Solaris 7, current on patches up to Mar 1, 2002) last week and when it came back up, my /home directory was totally empty. I also could not write to the directory even as root. An ls -l comes back like this. dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Mar 17 12:59 home There are no errors showing up in the syslog or in var/admin/messages. When I run an fsck manually it comes back clean. There's not even a core file on the system. I'm stumped. Any suggestions/ideas?
