it's quite simple, you should do the following:
(1) kick all your users off the machine
(2) cd /
umount /users
(3) edit /etc/fstab and change /users to /public
(4) cd /
rmdir /users
mkdir /public
(5) mount /public
(6) cd /public
mkdir /public/users
"mv all directories in /public to /public/users
except of course users"
(7) let your users log in

Thanks George, I'm new at this and I'm a little timid.
In addition to the above I had to
1) vipw to change the users home directories
2) cd /var/yp and then make passwd ! my sun is a master server
3) edit my /etc/exports file since this disk is mounted by clients
4) modify client /etc/fstab files
5) mkdir /public on clients
6) rmdir /user on clients
That was it. Thanks a bunch.
