I disagree.
Or at least not as such.
Many Solaris systems I've used have put homes in /export/home. But
they are /NOT/ supposed to be used /directly/ as the home directory.
The intention that they would be NFS exports and that said export
would be auto mounted to /home.
The /export/home is really the /export/ point, /not/ the location that
is supposed to be used.
Solaris 10 u10:
beef / # useradd asdf
beef / # grep asdf /etc/passwd
asdf:x:504:1::/home/asdf:/bin/sh
Solaris 11.3:
medusa# useradd asdf
medusa# grep asdf /etc/passwd
asdf:x:65540:10::/export/home/asdf:/usr/bin/bash
When creating a user on Solaris 11, because it requires you to install a
regular user because you can't login directly as root, it creates the
home directory in /export/home
Interesting. To be honest, I did not expect Solaris 10 to use /home as
the default.
