Hi, First of all check if ypbind has started. Use the command /etc/init.d/ypbind status. If it's started or you are able to start, it means that the ypbind is able to connect to te server. Second step would be to do a ypcat passwd. This should list the password entries form nis database The problem could be that the home directories are not being mounted..Check on that as well If you are unable to bind to the server ( /etc/init.d/ypbind start.. fails), then check the file /var/yp/securenets on the server. This will have the access resctirictions set on the nis server Regards Jerome --- unix syzadmin <unixsyzadmin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > The NIS logins are hanging.
