Hello y'all. Can anyone please tell me why I can make a directory or create a file in my "/home" in solaris 10 ? And also, have been a linux user for a while now, and I know when I log into my linux, there is always a configuration file that controls the enviroment of your terminal e.g ".bashrc" I realised this does not apply to solaris 10. Again, if I want to add a "path" where do I do that in solaris 10, for example, in linux all I have to do is go into ma ".bashrc" edit it and add the path, then am good to go. A lot of things doesn't really seem the same here. I was thinking or use to think that if you worked with a linux os the solatis won't be much of a stress. My distribution is "solaris 10" really nedd someone to better explain all my questions. Hope to read from someone soon. Lovely day cheere

you need to check your login shell. Probably it is tcsh and in this case either you need to change it or edit .cshrc

On Solaris, /home is handled by default by the automounter. That means you cannot create a directory there even as root. if you don't need it, just disable the home automount by commenting out the
line in the /etc/auto_master file.

.bashrc works the same way regardless of the OS. However, this file is bash specific so if you haven't set your login shell to be bash, modifying it would have no effect on it.

Thanks 2 jlliagre its all as u said. Very grateful. And honestly, am grateful for the meduim and forum and people that take time out to find asnwers to diff post. U guya all are the best. Thanks a whole lot. Lovely day
