We have an all 8.2 lan with clients running kde via nis and nfs from a central server. All OK under 8.2. but then I upgrade one client to 9.0 and login to my account from there. It works fine but then I can't login again from an 8.2 client. (it sits at the flashing globe forever). This defeats the idea of having nis. Apart from upgrading all boxes at the same time, is there any way around this? Indeed, should this happen at all? Thanks, Steve.

Steve, This shouldn't happen. I'm not running 9.0 yet (as 8.2 does everything I need on all sites) but you might want to check the following ... As root on an 8.2 client that you can't log in successfully on, look at /var/log/messages for NFS errors (or similar). Try logging on to same machine with non-gui login (Ctrl-Alt-F1). Any errors there ? If so it could be a KDE config file issue. I think the NFS rpc versions are the same between 8.2 and 9.0 but if not that could cause a problem. Anyone with 9.0 confirm this ?
