NIS user unable to login

[kvsheejith]

OS : HP-UX B11.11 [NIS client]
Prob: Root user is able to login I am getting GUI. But if i try with any NIS user account it is not loging in, only i am getting one blank screen.

Diagnosis : ypwhich,ypbind and ypcat is working fine. I am able to see the result properly.

What could be the problem?

Is this a workstation, and you're logging in
at the local keyboard+display?

Have you tried logging in remotely from a
terminal/emulator (Telnet, ssh, rsh, ...)?
(Or from a local, root-owned terminal
emulator?)

Are the non-root users' home directories
(NFS-remote?) accessible?

Yes it is a workstation J6750, yes i am logging in at the local keyboard+display.

yes i tried logging in remotely from a different machine through telnet and ssh users are able to login.

Are the non-root users' home directories
(NFS-remote?) accessible?

The non-root users' home directories
are NFS. And it is mounted. i am able to see the mounts.

you can do some hit and trials


goto NIS server so

cd /var/yp
make all


than go to the client end and umount that NFS mount point and mount it again

also can you check on the client machine by using

ypwhich

and see by which server that client is bind

These steps had already tried.
