I have FDS install on a EL 5 server. I also have a Fedora 6 desktop and a Fedora 8 laptop. I can reboot the F6 desktop and enter any of my users set up in FDS on the EL5 server and login with all their correct information. ( I use NFS to mount the home dirs). This is good. The F8 laptop is a different story. After a reboot, I have to login as root and switch desktops to be able to see the FDS users. The initial startup of gdm has slowed down tremendously. I can log in as root and to a ldapsearch and see my FDS and all info. If I log off root, FDS seems to go away. I can only log in as root or the one user I have set up on the laptop. Again, I log in as root, then I can log in as a user in FDS. Any thoughts? Thank you all for you help. Joe
