your users have home directories that are mounting from some
other<BR>machine it could be that the home directories for your users cannot
be<BR>found. And you will see that exact behaviour...at least for root
or<BR>other local users you can edit the /etc/passwd file and change to a
<BR>known working directory. take a look with chkconfig at the
autofs startup.<BR>editing /etc/nsswitch.conf and removing nis from the
entries you want<BR>will give you the same effect as authconfig in the
message below. </BLOCKQUOTE>

please try to keep posts on-topic? Your answer has nothing to do with
