/home/export/heru




i going to go out on a limb and suggest that this was supposed to be /export/home, not /home/export and that may have been part of the problem also.

yes, is must be /export/home/heru

i have created folder heru in /export/home , and when i executed that command
error message some like "command error "

heru,
you haven't specified the username. add the username at the end of the command, eg:
useradd -u 1002 -g 102 -d /home/export/heru -s /bin/sh heru

try this it should work.

useradd -d /export/home/user -m -s /bin/ksh -g javap user5

thank's krrishv,

that's work, and now i have 1 new user, but when i try to login from terminal that's not work, i have message :

no utmpx entry, you must exec "login" from the lowest level "shell"

and same when i try to login with desktop.

what must be setting for that ?

thank you

regards,

kill utmpd, flush the following files in /var/adm: utmp, utmpx, wtpm & wtmpx and restart utmpd.
