Title: Message

by chance, did you recently enable autofs?  a typical 
mount point for autofs is /home, & if autofs is started w/ that 
mount point specified, all your local files will not appear until you stop the 
autofs svc...

Subject: User directories in /home are 
  missing

  Hi,
  I use Redhat Enterprise Edition 
  2.4.21 kernel version. In my system all the user directories in /home 
  disappeared. No one deleted it. But I don’t know how it is missing. I had one 
  or two open sessions where I already logged in as root and cd’ed to one 
  particular home directory. From there I am able to access files in that home 
  directory. But not from a new session. In new session it always says no such 
  file or directory.

  All my user accounts still exists. 
  I have totally around 10 user accounts in that machine. I haven’t rebooted 
  that machine thinking that I can do something without reboot. 

  Do anyone know the reason for this 
  and if so how to recover it.

  Regards
