Hi,

in passwd file you have an entry :
user:passwd:UID:GID:user_name:home_directory:shell.
Possibilities are :
- You can show this file with a ypcat passwd. Are you sure that the home directory exist ?
I think it's a NFS directory no ?
Show in /etc/fstab if it's an entry for this directory.
- Has the user the same UID and GID on all system to have good right on his home directory ?
