NIS with automount 1

[sunilprao]

Having problem adding new users in NIS with automount.<br>The id is updated in member servers but when a cd is done it says directory not found. Directory is created and ownership is also given properly.ID's existing previously are working fine.

Hi,<br><br>firstly I would like to know which flavour of unix are u working on.Basically it happens this way.<br><br>When you create a account on NIS master and run &quot;make&quot; or ypmake it pushes data into clients using yppush command.<br><br>you could try two things...<br><br>run yppush manually <br><br><b>#yppush passwd</b><br>&nbsp;or<br><br>from client run<br><br><b>#ypxfr -h (master server's name) -f passwd.nam</b><br><b>#ypxfr -h (master server's name) -f passwd.uid</b><br><br>At nis client check if the Id is updated using <br><b># id uid (ex if account created is manal, uid=manal)</b><br><br>Hope it helps you...<br><br>Sunil<br>

Hello,<br><br>If you are using SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 there was a problem with &quot;pushing&quot; across a network. There is a TA relating to the problem, which is in the binary lckpwdf. A solution is to use the 5.0.4 binary lckpwdf. Whether there is now an update to 5.0.5 to fix the problem in a better way I don't know.<br><br>Rot Thomas<br>
