The ideal is for all network users to be able to locate their own or anyone's home directory under /home. This view should be common across all computers, whether client or server.
Every Solaris installation comes with a master map: /etc/auto_master.
# Master map for autofs # +auto_master /net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse /home auto_home -nobrowse |
A map for auto_home is also installed under /etc.
# Home directory map for autofs # +auto_home |
Except for a reference to an external auto_home map, this map is empty. If the directories under /home are to be common to all computers, do not modify this /etc/auto_home map. All home directory entries should appear in the name service files, either NIS or NIS+.
Users should not be permitted to run setuid executables from their home directories. Without this restriction, any user could have superuser privileges on any computer.
