This may be unique to my install, but I found I cannot create user
directories in /home/username. (Solaris 5.7 on SS5).

Use /export/home/username. I am *told* that the idea of an export/home
directory is that Sun had the big idea of using one machine to store
everybody's home directory and having other machines mount that home directory
via NFS. That way no matter what machine you were using you had the same
home directory with all your files available. When I try to create a
subdirectory on /home I get an error (even as root). Something like "operation
not applicable".
