Where to Go From Here

If you created a user's home directory, you must share the directory so the user's system can remotely mount it. See "How to Share a User's Home Directory" for detailed instructions.

If disk space is limited, you can set up a disk quota for the user in the file system containing the user's home directory. See "Managing Quotas (Tasks)" in System Administration Guide, Volume 2 for information on setting disk quotas.
