Very Computer

I just installed Solaris 2.6 and I cannot write to /home as root. I get the
following error:

# cd /home
# mkdir foo
mkdir: Failed to make directory "foo"; Operation not applicable

I also get an error if I try to create a user account and home directory
using the admintool

I think this has something to do with NFS, but I am not savvy enough yet to
figure this one out.
I am not running NFS nor do I want to, so if I have it turned on somewhere
tell me how to turn it off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Probably the automounter is controlling /home (it does by default).

# stop it now
/etc/init.d/autofs stop

# stop it from starting on boot
cd /etc/rc2.d
mv S74autofs _S74autofs

Of course, if you need the automounter, you'll have to edit
/etc/auto_* if you want to change where it automounts stuff.
