[rhn-users] NIS or automounter problem

[Dan Hunter]

New users usually don't know where to get help.
I can understand their posting to the wrong list.
If you know the answer, tell them.
If you know the correct list for the question,
tell them...  after you answer the question.
Not everybody knows the Redhat lists backward and forward.
A little dab of understanding please.

    If your users have home directories that are mounting from some other

    other local users you can edit the /etc/passwd file and change to a 
    known working directory.  take a look with chkconfig at the autofs startup.
    editing /etc/nsswitch.conf and removing nis from the entries you want
    will give you the same effect as authconfig in the message below. 

  Guillermo,

  I realize you are trying to be helpful, but it is not helpful to keep answering off topic posts on this list.  Could people please try to keep posts on-topic?  Your answer has nothing to do with RedHat Network.
