NIS+ Problem

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

Re: NIS+ Problem

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

Re: NIS+ Problem

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"
