I was able to find the stupid mistake I was making, when I was specifying the path I was just typing /export/home instead of typing /export/home/"users_folder_name" Thank your for all the help.

yes it exists. I couldn't use the -f option, but I was able to create a directory in /export/home using mkdir -p /export/home/x Just a question ( may be a stupid one) When we give the path for making the home directory for user1, do we need to specify like /export/home/user1 OR just specify...

The directory exists under root. I am not mounting on another machine

The permisssions are for /export are 755 owned by root The permissions for /export/home are also the same drwxr-xr-x 2 root other ........... drwxr-xr-x 3 root sys .......... I did not want 777 to be the permissions but just to check whether it works, I tried it

Hi Sproosy, I changed the permissions to 777 for both /export and /export/home. Even though I changed the permissions it wont still let me create the home folder for a new user.(logged in as root) On working solaris systems what would be the permissions for /export and /export/home??

I am new to Solaris. While using admintool(logged in as root ) to add users and trying to specify the path for home directory,I am unable to create the home directory for the user in /export/home. The error I get is directory is owned by somebody else.
