hi ya oren

simple tests...

- make sure /home is exported to be rw to your deb box...
        - am assuming you want to write into your home dir

- on your deb box...make sure you can at least manually mount it
        deb# mkdir /mnt/test
        deb# mount solaris:/home /mnt/test

- i use autofs...( for simple automount stuff ) ( no NIS/yp etc
  compatibility needs )

    deb# cat /etc/auto.master
        #.... comments ..
        #
        #  mkdir /.autofs
        /.autofs  /etc/auto.home --timeout 600
        #
        # end of file
        
    deb# cat /etc/auto.home
        #.... comments ...
        #
        home.NFS        -fstype=nfs,intr,soft   solaris:/home
        #
        # end of file

- your automounted new home dir is  /.autofs/home.NFS
        #
        deb# ls -laR /.autofs/home.NFS/<your_home>
        deb# ln -s /.autofs/home.NFS  /where-ever-your-want-home-to-be

-
- last possible gotcha.....
-       you might need to specify rpc-1 or rpc-2  depending on
-       which protocol is used by linux kernel vs solaris kernel
-       - you define the option if needed
-       ( search the web ( "rpc-1 rpc-2" for options syntax )
