[geeks] Solaris 11.4 /home puzzle

[Phil Stracchino]

Solaris 11.4 really wants to put home directories under /export/home.

I don't want them there.  I have other plans for /export.  I want to put 
them under /home.  But /home on Solaris 11.4 is somehow ...  special.

epsilon3:root:/mnt/morpheus/export/src/xnedit-1.4.0:32 # ls -ld /home/
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Jan  9 14:07 /home//
epsilon3:root:/mnt/morpheus/export/src/xnedit-1.4.0:33 # chmod o+w /home
chmod: WARNING: can't change /home

Does anyone here know something I don't about Solaris 11.4 that would 
explain this?  Why is /home special or reserved?  It almost seems as 
though it exists solely to prevent you from using it.
