Hello list
I was trying to add a user to my solaris box, but useradd fails telling me
"Operation not applicable"...
Tried to create it by hand the home directory with mkdir, but I get the same
error... changed to / and 'ls' tells that /home is dr-xr-xr-x, tried to
change to drwxr-xr-x by running 'chmod 755 /home' but I get "WARNING: can't
change /home'
How can I change its mode and allow the new user home directory be created
inside? simply can't do nothing to '/home'
Am logged in as root, still have not users.
Thanks!
P.S.
I did this:
# groupadd -g 500 reno
# useradd -u 500 -g reno -d /home/reno -s /usr/bin/bash -m reno
UX: useradd: ERROR: Unable to create the home directory: Operation not
Applicable.
#mkdir /home/reno
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/home/reno": Operation not applicable
# chmod 755 /home
chmod: WARNING: can't change /home
