I want a /home directory on my mac

May, 14 -- Categories: Mac

Be warned…. this is probably dangerous, and will probably destroy your computer and kick your dog. You probably shouldn’t do this, but if you want to here is how:

Edit the /etc/auto_master file. You’ll need admin privileges to do this like so: sudo vi /etc/auto_master. All you need to do is comment out the line that starts /home by putting a pound sign (#) in front of it. When you are done, here’s how the file should look:

#
# Automounter master map
#
+auto_master         # Use directory service
/net             -hosts       -nobrowse,nosuid
#/home             auto_home     -nobrowse
/Network/Servers     -fstab
/-              -static

Once you do this, you need to restart your machine.
