how to create application accounts on Solaris 11 without using the automount framework

edited Mar 19, 2013 9:23AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered ✓
We have install scripts that use useradd and groupadd to create application user accounts during installation. These have broken on Solaris 11 because of the integration with the automount facility.

Is it still possible, using a command-line tool, to create a user with a specific home directory, that does not yet exist, and have exactly that home directory appear in /etc/passwd? See, for example, the "Reserved UID" accounts for gdm, postgres, etc.

Thanks
