RE: UNIX OT: Strange Unix behavior

Check your /etc directory for a file called auto_home. If this exists and the automountd is running, then this is the cause of the problem. I just comment the /home line out of the auto_master and restart the daemon. I think that this is the root of you problem. Let me know if this does not do it.

It doesn't look like it. I did 'mount' and 'df'. Both did not report '/home' as being mounted.
There must be a way around this. Must keep looking... Thanks.
