Hi Jurvis > can you 'su <nisuser>' from local root? Yes. The home directory is mounted via NFS. No problems with that. >is anything showing up in your logs? When I try to log in remotely, /var/log/secure reports that an illegal user is trying to log in. It's as if NIS isn't being polled for passwords.
