    NIS - Adding New User

    hi,

    I have NIS Server on Solaris and NIS Client of RHEL 4U5. All the NIS configurations are working fine on server and client end and the clients connects properly with NIS server.

    I am having problems with adding user. I follow these steps:

    1) Create local user on solaris and
    2)populate it to NIS

    All these user can login to NIS client with solaris but not on LINUX probably becaue the login files and not present. The login screen for linux takes username and passwd and disappears.

    I feel that i can use .cshrc file in user homr directory to make the users login to linux. But i donno how to go abt it. please help me

    NIS Server is on Solaris and NIS Client is on LINUX.

    I create NIS user on Solaris Server (NIS Server) say 'nistest' . With 'nistest' i can login through all solaris based NIS client but unable to login with Linux based NIS Client.

    When i log in with 'nistest' on LINUX based nis client using kde session, the initializing screen hangs and disappears. I have logged in with root on this machine and have checked the processes running with 'nistest' which are as follows:

    nistest 6117 6111 0 10:29 ? 00:00:00 -/bin/csh -c /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
    nistest 6157 6117 0 10:29 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/startkde
    nistest 6158 6157 0 10:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
    nistest 6161 1 0 10:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
