2. I cannot make sub directory for users. I tried to make directory using
"useradd -m user_id" but, same error just occurred

useradd:ERROR: Unable to create the home directory : Operation not applicable.

solaris 7, /home directory mode is dr-xr-xr-x .

The solaris FAQ says:
Why can't I write in/mount over /home?
SunOS 5.x is delivered with the "automounter" enabled. The
automounter is designed for NFS sites, to simplify maintenance of
the list of filesystems that need mounting. However it is a burden
for standalone sites.
The automounter takes over /home and in effect becomes the NFS
server for it, so it no longer behaves like a normal directory.
This is normally a Good Thing as it simplifies administration if
everybody's home directory is /home/, regardless of their
physical location.
If you want to continue to use the automounter, edit /etc/auto_master
and comment out the line starting with "/home". Then run the
"automount" command which will cause automountd to reload the maps.
To kill it off for standalone or small networks running Solaris 2.3
or later, you can stop automountd by running "/etc/init.d/autofs
stop". Prevent it from starting at boot time by renaming the file
/etc/rc2.d/SXXautofs to /etc/rc2.d/sXXautofs, where XX are two
digits depending on the OS release. (If you change your mind, just
rename it back)
In Solaris 2.2, the procedure is different. You need to comment
out the three lines in /etc/init.d/nfs.client that start "if" (from
the if to the fi!!), and reboot (Solaris 2.2)
To learn about it, read the O'Reilly book "Managing NFS and
NIS", or ftp the white paper 'The Art of Automounting". from
sunsite.unc.edu in the directory /pub/sun-info/white-papers.

Cricket

Credit information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL)

CIBIL- was incorporated in 2000.The relationship between CIBIL and the Banks is that of close interdependence. Banks provide Cibil the information of its customers who have taken credit and there payments behavior and track record. CIBIL on the basis of information collated from all Banks, helps its member Banks to make faster credit decisions when they acquire new customers as they will be able to check his previous credit history.

The CIBIL Credit Score System:
It will be on a scale ranging from 100 to 999. Cibil collates data from its member Banks and creates a track of all loans, Credit taken by an individual and impart him a score based on his behavior of repayments of Emi’ s and Credit card from member Banks. Lower the CIBIL credit score lower the chances of getting money on credit. Say if your credit score is close to 100, then this implies, outright refusal of credit, requirement of additional security / guarantee, higher down payment, shorter duration and higher interest rates. If you have a very high CIBIL credit score, say 800, this implies, lower interest rates, waiver of processing fees and faster disbursement of funds.
So then, how can I improve my CIBIL Credit Score?
• Pay all your EMIs on Loans in time. And when you have more than one loan running it gets difficult to repay them or keep a track. So, it’s very important to make regular & timely re-payments of your loan to maintain your credit level.
• Never fail to pay the Minimum Payment required by your Credit Card. What is advisable is making full payments on your credit card every time. Credit Card is categorized as revolving credit and it helps in building a good credit history if payments are regular.
• Always make a budget for yourself & ensure your monthly income permits you to take a loan.
• Do not apply for loans or credit cards if not required. As this would mean more credit exposure. This could affect your credit score. Instead of applying for another loan, try checking for a top-up loan option on your existing loan. This will make your debt burden easier to manage.
• Use some of your savings to repay some of your debt. Always plough back extra income to reduce your debts. This will increase your credit score level.
• A cheque bounce on your credit card or on a loan also affects your credit rating.
• Avoid going in for settlements, although you make payments only for your purchases in a settlement it does bring down your score level. And never get into a write off case. This means not paying for your dues at all.

Now that you are aware of the CIBIL scoring system, please work on maintaining your score. Ensure that you are always in control of your finances. However, even if your credit score is low don’t be disheartened. The credit system always gives scope for improvement. You can start improving your credit score by simply paying of your debt and not opting for more until your score improves.

Lessons of Mumbai Terror Attack

As per the news being circulated the Mumbai Terror Attack problem is over with a few dozens dead and over 350 injured. We must congratulate our NSG, Marine Commandos, Army personnel who all had to operate in the danger zone around the Action areas for over 65 hours with a few of them losing their lives in action. We salute all of them who took part in the operation and flushed out the terrorists dead or alive. We also salute those of the finest IPS Officers of ATS and Police men who lost their lives in the starting phase of the battle between the law and order keeping forces and the Terrorists.

What are the lessons of the event?

That, the country was one, is one and will remain one against all such external or internal attacks, disturbances and disorders being created by vested interest groups outside the country and also inside it.

That, Maratha warriors like Bal Thakrey and his Shiv Sainiks and Raj Thakrey and his MNS Sainiks were seen nowhere in action of saving their very own Marathi Manush Mumbai. A shameful act on part of these Maratha warriors. Mumbaikars and the Marathis must have now more faith in the United India with brotherhood between the people of different linguistic, cultural and religious background and not in so called sainiks and their leaders.

That , major part of Police administration in Mumbai, except for ATS, seemed to be paralysed and fainted. This was the same force which flashed their bravery in killing Raj, a Bihari boy from a short distance a month ago.

That, neither CM Deshmukh nor his loud mouth Home Minister RR Patil who was shouting at the top of his voice about a month ago that guns will be met with guns (against the same Bihari boy Raj ) was not visible this time with his boys and the guns when the terrorist guns were spitting fire. There were many other brave Marathas like Praful Patel who matched his frequency with Raj Thakrey and challenged just a month ago whoever challenged the Marathas and their ego which in his opinion was not the rights or property of Northies, Hindi speaking population and last but not the least Biharis and Jharkhandis. All this Maratha talk was a shameful act then and now. Otherwise they should have been in the forefront of the Save Mumbai campaign from Terrorists. Is it possible that the Terrorists fixed the exact dates for action after making sure that Mumbai in particular had become weak due to the recent MNS action against the Biharis and Northies in Mumbai and Maharashtra? This may be a major probable cause.

This also has a lesson for us and our rulers in Delhi as to why we have a non-political PM and a weak Home Minister who seemed to be totally unaware of his job, that is, the situation prevailing in the country. They are certainly not pro-active. They are reactive. Therefore, we, over 100 crore people are not safe in these hands. It is not to say that BJP or their NDA will do anything better.

What we, the citizens of this country need to do is to reject all such defective people whose total perspective is to look at the Unity and existence of this country through the eyes of BSE and NSE indices, or divide the populace for votes on linguistic , caste and communal lines and are not interested in a sensible governance and development of a United and strong India.

Interviewer: What is your strength?
