chmod problem on Solaris

807559Jun 14 2002 — edited Jun 17 2002

Hi Everyone,
I'm facing a strange problem.

On my Solaris 8 system I'm unable to change the permission of
directory "/home".

The current permision are

# ls -ld /home
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Jun 12 16:50 /home

When I give following command as root user
# chmod 700 /home

It gives following warning
chmod: WARNING: can't change /home

I don't understand why this is happening.

By any chance is /home directory any special???

I've heard that /home has something to do with automount and all.

Please help

thanks and regards
Deepti
