Everything is working fine. It did take me a few days to get going as it was my first time at it and I'm quite isolated. Things to check: hosts.allow hosts.deny redhat-config-auth tabtabtab and setup the server by ip (in my case) and nis domainname- jargon could be bad here nis domainname set? ypconfig in /etc daemons running? exports or nfs homes running (not necessary) It took me a few days to get the yppassword to work for the clients, but it goes now.
