Hello, I'm running SuSE 6.4 on four boxes. They all share a password-file over NIS, which is handy when editting files over NFS-mounts etc. Now, when I'm working on one of these boxes, the machine can not determine my username from my (numeric) userid. However, I can normally log in or do a su to myself, and then all seems OK again. What gives? I'm getting a little tired of this, can anyone give any advice on how to fix this? Thanks, Hein
