RE: [newbie] NIS XFree86 login problem
For those that may come across this in the future, I have solved my own problem as usual. Make sure that the server and client machines are using the same user id and group id for the users files. My Debian machine had a userid of 1000 while the Mandrake machine was using 501. Once I chown and chgrp all the directoryies and files everything worked fine. I can't wait for 8.0 to be released to go through this pain again. :-) -Original Message- From: Morrell, Mike A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 11:52 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [newbie] NIS XFree86 login problem Hello: I just setup a NIS server on a Debian box and have a Mandrake 7.2 client that I setup to login using NIS. I added +:: to the passwd file and see all the users on the login screen, but when I try to login it looks like the desktop is going to start but I get a grey screen and it jumps back to the login screen. I don't get any error messages. When I login with the console everything works fine and I can see the NFS mounted directorys just fine. So why can't I use XFree86? I've tried Gnome, Sawfish, and KDE with the same result. Anyone had this problem?

Thanks Paul. That's exactly it. Thanks again On Thu, 08 Juan 2000, also sprach: On Wed, 7 Jun 2000, John Arkoulis wrote: When I boot I see a message Binding to NIS domain failed What is this.
