I have a RHEL WS 3.0 installation. I have an NIS domain with many SUN solaris systems. All of my users home directories are on the Solaris systems which are shared to the other solaris systems as well as to the RHEL system under the /home/username mount point. I have a solaris user that has a username on the solaris nis server. I created a local account on the RHEL box with the same username and groupname as what's on the NIS server for this user. I specified the home directory for this user as /home/username but chose not to have Red Hat create the home directory since it's NFS mounted form the Solaris machine to the RHEL machine. When I try to log into the RHEL machine using KDE with the username and password I get this error message: could not lock the file /home/username/.gconf-test-locking-file" This indicates there may be a problem with your operating system configuration. If you have an NFS-mouonted home directory, either the clietn or the sever may be set-up incorrectly. See the rpc.statd and rpc.lockd documentation. A common cause of this error is that the nfslock service has been disabled. The error was "Permission Denied" )errno=13) In doing a ps and grep for rpc on the RHEL machine I have ps -ef |grep rpc rpc 4064 1 0 13:21 ? 00:00:00 portmap rpcuser 4083 1 0 13:21 ? 00:00:00 rpc.statd root 4144 1 0 13:21 ? 00:00:00 [rpciod] root 4973 1 0 13:21 ? 00:00:00 rpc.rquotad root 4991 1 0 13:21 ? 00:00:00 rpc.mountd root 7206 7160 0 14:25 pts/1 00:00:00 grep rpc lockd is also running on the RHEL machine ps -ef |grep lock root 4145 1 0 13:21 ? 00:00:00 [lockd] My Solaris machine is sharing the home directory for this user as rw for netgroup sunw of which the RHEL machine is a part of. Here is the entry for it on the solaris box. share -F nfs -o rw=ntw:sunw:sgiw:macw -d "home dirs" /export/home1 Does anybody know what this fix is for this problem? Is it possible to do what I want to do and have the NFS partition mount on the RHEL box when the user logs in? I can log into the RHEL machine as root and do an su - username and it works fine and the users home directory is set but when I try to log in inititally as that user from KDE it won't mount it becasue of the above error.
