Hello:

I am in the sustaining group. The system administrators must focus
their time on the R&D
groups. So when the hard drive of my Ultra 1 died I had to learn. I
installed Solaris 8.
I can telnet into it. I can login if I am root. Otherwise I have no
home. I changed vfstab to
be identical to another Ultra 1's, but it still does not have a home. I
looked at another
old Ultra 1. I had Solaris 6, Sunos 5.6 installed. That one no changes
to /etc/vfstab, but it
still worked! These version of Unix are different? Must I change more
than /etc/vfstab?
I know that I had to change mtab, fstab, hosts and exports to make my
Linux box work.

Help!

thank you. Junko

Check the following files on the Ultra 1 you loaded and compare with the
other Ultra 1 that works:

/etc/auto_apps
/etc/auto_home
/etc/auto_master
/etc/defaultdomain
/etc/dfs/dfstab
/etc/hosts
/etc/nsswitch.conf
