NIS+ Problem

Prashant Zanwar_4 — Mon, 22 Nov 2004 13:02:52 GMT

Hi,

I am just new to the setup at my new place. I have a linux workstation. We have nis+ setup. I am able to login to my workstation locally. I got NIS+ password too. When i try to login, it cannot locate the home direcory and comes out.
What I shall look in and how shall create direcory.
My colleuage is able to login under /users/

I have tried nismkdir, but not sure of the server where I shall create it, and also it asks for sully qualified directory name. What steps shall I take. Every help is very much appreciated.

Thanks and regards
Prashant

Is automounter (or linux equivalent) in play here??? Is home defined properly on nis server for you??

Hi,

Automounter is in effect. I have talked to the guy who has created the account. He says directory is there.

Thnx

Perms on directory??? Are they correct?? Can you ask sysadmin to mount/access the home dir from this client??
You can check as
cd /nfs/"nfs_server"/"home_dir"
