Problem when creating users on Solaris 2.6

[zoby]

When I create a new user with admintool, he does not create his directory even if I specifie it. It's very strange. What happen actually is when I apply the creation, admintool exits itself. But it creates the user.

Could someone help me, please, it will be great !

Did you tick the Create Home Dir check box?
What is the path of the home directory?

Yes, I did. And the path is :
/export/home/username.

This happen each time I want to create a new user.
The server is not a NIS server, we connect him with a telnet session trough Workstation NT.

Hi
Don't know what the problem is. Just add the user from the command line anyway.

useradd -d /export/home/'user' -m -g 'group''user'

Hi

Try this

useradd -g<space><gid> -u<space><uid><space> -m<space> -d <space>/export/home/<username> <space> -s<space>/bin/sh<space> <username>

mkdir /export/home/<user>
chown <user>:<group> /export/home/<user>

hmm

we do this manually on our system anyway as we use /etc/auto_home for users.
