hi i've setted up a NIS server and NIS clients on SuSE 8.2.. at KDe login screen i can see all the users on NIS database..but i'm able only to login with my local user. If i try to login with another user ( which i can see on the KDE login screen) an error appears: impossible to create Home directory? how can i do? I have to map the /home directory, which resides on the NIS Server, with NFS? or Samba? thx
You now have the cookbook (thanks Damian). So you can now see how to set up the NIS maps. You'll also realise that you can't use Yast2 to set it up properly. Sending kde over NFS is a slow affair unless you have a powerful server with loadsa memory and good switches. Please keep in touch with your findings. Off list if the purists are getting bored. We are doing exactly what you want to do. And that's important. Just two simple points: are you sure that the automounter is running?
rcautofs status
and exporting your /home directory rw Good luck, Steve.
