A few questions:
You say that when you are using the Gnome xdm, that you are not able to login. Is this just with NIS accounts, or is it with local accounts as well? If you switch to init 3 (or Ctrl-Alt-F1), are you able to login via NIS/local account then? Does the log messages say anything about the failed attempts? My guess is that it might have something to do with PAM authentication. I found out (the hard way), that Redhat loves to rely heavily on PAM. Usually, if a service (such as ssh, telnet, login, etc) uses PAM, it needs a pam script that is located in the /etc/pam.d directory. Also, what does your /etc/nsswitch.conf file look like? -Rob > Hi, > > I figured out a solution to this problem. If I select a KDE session, I > can log in through the xdm window of an NIS client.
